I wish I had your luck, I still haven't been able to get the bounty for the Caliph to spawn after several real life days and messing around with the bounty file itself.

Hmm, that's really weird. It bears asking: did you have this save before the update that added the Caliph campaign integration and unique bounty system?

I've done several saves since then, over a dozen at least. I'm not sure if one of the other mods are interfering somehow but I only use Nexelerin and a couple faction mods. The first bounty for the Eagle spawns in the very first month almost every time but I haven't managed to get the Caliph even after editing the bounty file to make it appear in cycle 206 with level 1 player and 1 fleet point requirement.

So I got the Caliph, kitted it out, stuck it in my fleet as a big dumb shooty object for funsies. I think there's something messed up with regards to its ramming damage. The Caliph taps a ship and the hapless fellow detonates regardless of whether it's using the ram drive or not. If it was more of a menace to the enemy than my own I'd be less unhappy, but I've repeatedly lost cruisers and carriers that end up near it. I've mothballed the thing and stuck it in storage - having the big dumb shooty thing is just too expensive in terms of lost ships.

EDIT: Oh, and after I did the save editing I had to turn the Vayra bounty intel system off too. I've had no more crashes and have kept going with my save.

Quick question about the Caliph (again *shrug*), what are the conditions to make the bounty happen? Does it happen at a certain cycle, does the Remnant need to be eliminated or is it simply just very, very rare? I managed to go through four campaigns, one up to cycle 221 and still haven't seen it.

Is it possible to somehow get the Caliph Dreadnought in the Campaign (outside of cheats)? Like with the Nexerelin Prism Freeport rare ship store or finding it on a blueprint?
