System with a low danger beacon pinging away. I entered it, and found three groups of Radiants just chilling dormant. Two of the groups have ~4-5 each, while the third had 8.
Just want to know if this happened to anyone else.

That's normal in low danger systems

[Biohazard041]

I though low danger meant a few smaller [REDACTED], not bunches of Radiants

[AcaMetis]

Dormant fleets tend to be bigger/more dangerous than non-dormant fleets in any event, but that many dormant radiants in a low danger system seems bizarre. Are you using any mods by chance?

[intrinsic_parity]

Oh I missed the radiant part, I haven't seen that before. You should use the BBCode link from imgur to get embedded images btw.

[Biohazard041]

Yea I'm using mods, so maybe that's it, though I don't know how any of them could edit the spawnrates for this.

[intrinsic_parity]

Have you farmed remnant fleets at all? I know the fleets scale up as you kill them, maybe there's some bug relating to that?

On the plus side, that 8 radiant fleet won't out ECM you. On the minus side, it has 8 Radiants.

On the downside, you get murdered, on the bright side, you get murdered from up close XD
Actually officer spam is worse because of unbreakable shields and energy weapon mastery most of the time, having a "teleport every half a second" radiant is worse than a little bit of extra range honestly

[Thaago]

Well it a bit funny - the non tachyon lance Radiants only have 1225 range (assuming gunnery and ITU). If they lose ECM and are down 20%, thats 980. So while they can teleport, they can't actually move that far, and a ballistic capital has 1550 range (or more with vents) so Radiants need to go a long way to even get in firing range (or get out). Meanwhile destroyers built for range can kite the Radiant, and it can only go after 1 target at a time...

Of course tachyon radiants have 1400 range and there are 8 of the darn things, so its going to be a hard fight. But I think its actually an easier fight than a more balance enemy composition where the teleporting super battleships also outrange you.

[Ad Astra]

Oh definitely, I was just joking about how we fixate on the ECM effect against Remnants when its just a fraction of the horror package that a level 8 officer is when given a phase skimmer (system expertise makes it considerably more dangerous) and higher damage when in close range (energy weapon mastery), the radiant combines both of these for great effect, that's why your own Radiant is also very powerful even if you don't have the ECM advantage.

Looks fun!

That's quite a peculiar occurance for a low danger system 
You can take it, I believe in you!
