Approlight's star system's ID has changed. It is named "Agustin" now, not "ApproLight" any more.

Alright, I've changed the system name for next version. Question: has the planet entity ID (ApproLight01) also changed?

The one you get when you hit Tab? Right click and drag. The one in the Intel screen? No.

[grinningsphinx]

Ahh ok...yeah, the one in the intel screen.

Qamar? Who're they?

Wouldn't it be simpler just to make Player a mod faction like brdy, scy, templar etc? Except when planets generate make it maybe just generate one market for the player. Then it would interact with other factions the same way nexerelin does with other factions. Then when players want to customize thier factions they can just do that themselves. I'm not a proficient coder yet but it seems this would be a simpler idea.

That's basically how the followers faction works already, only it's integrated and has a couple of caveats:

• Player defaults to followers faction when not part of another faction
• Followers faction can have planets of its own even if you yourself join another faction, and they'll continue to obey you and fight your enemies

(I originally tried making player faction the same one code-wise as the one the fleet you control belongs to, but this had UI issues)

Hmm, is it possible for a game mode to be introduced, where all factions have one market and they have to scramble to take an uninhabited planet/station to expand their markets?

Like, 1 market and up to as many uninhabited planets/stations as plausible?

It'd play like normal Nexerelin in the end, due to each faction having their own markets, but...I dunno, is it like that already? (due to me having extra fast start all the time, I wouldn't e sure if it was like that.)

Yeah, original Exerelin had this and I'd like to implement it eventually. Need to work out proper handling for trade + expansion during the initial phase though.

Spoiler

Some challenges:

• The economy needs to not break at any point (this likely means the "abandoned" markets still need to participate in trade with others and such)
• Need a sensible mechanic for the factions to expand (I could reuse the existing invasion code, but doing this cleanly and without screwy behaviours would take time)

Just finished a game and the end screen made me laugh.

Spoiler

[close]

I destroyed all the factions except the Templar, that they were in Cooperative with me and never disliked me when I traded with others or randomly dislike me. In the end I took 4/5 of the galaxy and the rest were captured by Templar. When I saw Diplomatic Victory, made me laugh for a way. Definitely I used hard diplomacy.. XD

Afar from that I want to point out that I repatriated any prisoner I got with factions, helping myself to boost relationships a lot. I do not know why it shows 0. Also considering I ended with 48 markets, I feel I captured more than just 22. But it might be just me, but I know after a point I started just flying around getting boss bounties and capturing any market I could.

Collaborating with Templars? Oh you evil person.

:D

For the issues: It only counts markets you personally captured (i.e. spawned invasion fleets don't count). The prisoner thing is an odd bug, I'll keep an eye out for it.

Could you just add an extra faction called 'Unclaimed' or something, and make it so the standard factions are all at war with them, causing them to invade the markets and taken them over?
