If you use secrets of the frontier you can already use a stable point in a system to build a habitat which would overlap with the addition of another habitat type.
Is there any special features with the Remnant Station with a Alpha Core? what if sometimes they went rogue and established a remnant nexus somewhere in the planet? send defense fleets to systems that are threatened by fleets such as pirate/path as long there is a military building with an alpha core in that alpha core remnant station system.
Also, thanks for all your hard work these years boggled, can't imagine myself playing this game without TSC
I'm glad you're enjoying the mod!
AI cores in the Autonomous AI Battlestation function the same as a regular orbital station.
Having some sort of "betrayal" event is an interesting idea, but I think it would be too predictable since most players will have already encountered the Alpha core administrator event. Also, if it's triggered randomly that would be very frustrating and confusing for the player.
Balance would definitely be the key, but I think it's worth it since the autonomous station is quite the powerhouse by itself with negligible drawbacks
having some of its fleets malfunction/build a hostile nexus
(can be balanced to be weaker but have a period of growth if left unchecked) could be very cool, example of balance, if at all possible..
We could tie the likelihood of it happening to the type of Core being used by the station, with gamma cores giving a chance for fleets to simply malfunction sometimes, all the way to alpha cores allowing malfunctioning fleets to sometimes divert resources to build a
(Hostile even if allied with remnants) a nexus somewhere in the system, higher cores such as beta and alpha have lower chances of malfunctioning, especially alpha cores, however alpha cores when they do malf they go rogue and build a nexus to operate from.
This way it pays homage of the sheer power but unpredictable
(albeit predictable in this case) nature of Alpha Cores.
I wonder, could these remnant fleets go hostile even during fleet battles?
