Damn, was loving my first Nexerelin campaign so much but as soon as I got myself situated and prepared to go claim my faction's first planet, I realized both the Templar and Mayo-people had gone extinct.
What's the fun when the big bad bosses are already dead and there's no Mayo-people to make fun of for having such a silly name?
I really like the 'capital' idea from a couple of pages back, every faction having at least one big market with huge defense bonuses would really help. I mention market size because currently my Diable faction has just two tiny markets that don't even have military sales sections.
Has anyone taken a stab at save file editing to revive their templars? I just poked around at it and it seemed to be quite difficult. I found that a planet or station's "<owner ref="26406"></owner>" bit seemed to relate to which faction it belonged to (duh), but there were no templar planets or stations left to get an ID from. So I started up a new campaign so that I could find some templars and get their ref number from their planet... but that was when I found out that that ref number isn't consistent across campaigns, it appears to be randomly generated for each faction at world gen. Welp.
