Since its release, this has been one of my favorite mods of all time. I feel a bit guilty for not saying something sooner. Thanks so much for making it!

Hey, I registered just to say I really love your mod. Please keep it the same way as it is.
It's absolutely HILARIOUS when combined with hidden fun stuff from other mods.
I forgot which one, but there's this system(with a very British name) with beefed up derelicts, and I nearly got a heartattack when they all started jumping towards my fleet. Definitely makes the game a lot more exciting!

Just some feedback. It feels a bit too strong in the AI hands because they seem to fairly easily be able to warp directly onto you, which instantly forces combat. Some kind of delay before they can interact after moving would be good, i think. Something long enough that a deathball hyperdriving into you from across the system isn't an instant run ender.

Hey, thanks for the feedback! That exact thing already exists for that exact reason. In the latest version the no-interaction delay lasts 3 seconds. Perhaps it should be a bit longer? Generally I prefer not to disable vanilla interactions more than absolutely necessary, but I do think it's important to prevent truly unavoidable no-win scenarios. I'll need to do some testing.

It's generally fine, but sometimes fleets will perfectly warp ontop of you and the time just isn't enough to get away, especially with the time it takes to turn while sustain burning or the time it takes to start moving again after emergency burning.
I wouldn't consider it disabling a vanilla interaction, given in vanilla a fleet can't appear directly on top of you in most circumstances.

Maybe some sort of indicator instead to let you know a fleet is going to be appearing nearby, before they actually warp? So you can get out of the way. The mod makes it VERY hard to get away from enemy fleets, which is a great thing and really adds to the tension when out exploring and you find enemies, just sometimes everything lines up and you get put into unavoidable combat by a fleet you couldn't even see.

Has the update caused this to stop working?

If so, do you plan to update it to 0.95?

Actually, I tried the trick with just updating the Mod.json reference, and so far it works fine. Not saying something at some point won't break it, but so far everything seems fine, both on my end, and with NPC fleets using it

Seriously appreciate the quick update. When I heard that 0.95 had come out, I'd already decided I would wait till this was updated before starting a new game. Thank you!
