Hmmmm
Untested quick fix (put in Nexerelin/jars)

[DrakonST]

Already problem:

No crashes for me, but I found a bug in Nexerelin 0.8.3c. Easy to replicate.
1) Pretend to invade planet with defense station
2) Change your mind and leave
3) Invade the same planet again
4) Oops? Where is the enemy army? Just a lonely station.

I think it was better before, when you invaded and had no chance to escape once the invasion started.

[Spess Mahren]

Is it possible to declare war or do you just have to anonymously attack a faction until they declare war on you? The unprovoked rep hit seems nasty and I would rather not worry about the hoops to jump through by running around with the transponder off dodging people you don't want to kill at the moment.

Thanks! Fixed for next release.

For deciding not to engage: I can see it going either way. Since there's no way to see the response fleet's composition before the dialog (and thus decide whether fighting it is a good idea), I've had complaints about unescapable surprises being sprung on the player in this way.
Maybe in the future I'll think of a more sophisticated solution.

Any time a patrol tries to scan you and you refuse, or if a patrol attacks you for being caught installing a comm sniffer, you won't get the warmonger penalty for the resulting hostilities. Also, hostilities resulting from agents/saboteurs being detected don't have the penalty.

If that's too much trouble, the mechanic can be turned off completely with "warmongerPenalty": 0 in exerelin_config.json.

Maybe have a dialogue similar to a bounty description when you check to see what it is? Like, the man/woman defending this station possesses a large / medium / small carrier fleets / frigate swarms / destroyer group. So when you attack you have a better grasp on what you might face.

People complaining about this stuff are those, who want the enemy to be served on a silver plate. When you attack a planet you should better be prepared! I don't like the idea "Oh I just have a peek on the enemy". Smells like cheating to me.

I liked past Nexerelin versions for the unpredictable results. Please return this at least as an option in Nexerelin config.

[Tartiflette]

On the other hand, attacking a planet with your "134 strength" cruisers fleet against their puny "10 strength" defenses, and being met by three capital ships and a dozen of destroyers is kind of annoying.

[Histidine]

My current idea (partly inspired by new blogpost):

Code

Response fleet tweak:
* Remove free disengage
* Invasion dialog displays reserve size (in fleet generation points)
* Using agent gather intel ability creates a preview of an example response fleet

(You could still run into annoying weirdo fleet combinations when the actual fleet is generated, but arguably that's kinda the risk you take)

[Snrasha]

Good idea. I love response fleet and i have not problem to fight 3 capitals on a tiny station who have ten marines, but yeah, seems do not logic. But otherwise, if they have never be attacked. When you know than the response fleet of big station is often less big than theses tiny stations because they are always attacked. :p

[Histidine]

Some crash and other fixes, and a bit of other stuff.

Now that's interesting.

[EDIT] I've pinpointed it down to sector generation, specifically when you enable random core worlds and up the sectors to over 16, alongside stations and planets. The last successful generation had a luddic path market for the player faction.

[DrakonST]

Histidine, Can it is time add more settings features for vengeance fleets? It can give absolutely new play experience.

I usually strengthen, increase fleet size of the fraction chosen by me as the opponent and their fleet look approximately so:

But a vengeance fleets they are so weak and I usually disable this option. But if to add a feature to increase their size that it will allow to make very big fleet (like a size buff x13, also, in screenshot their buff x3) which will appear very seldom but will really FRIGHTEN the player.

[Boxman]

Going to report an bug where a random sector can have planets with exactly same name and one of them becomes a invisible/ghost planet. I was told on Discord server that it could be a Nexerelin issue, so I'm going to send screenshots and a save. I also imported an old save with Save Transfer to the save where I got the bug if that tells something, I don't have the first save of the sector anymore.

Screenshots:
