Don't kill ai inspections in hyperspace. (Updated)
« on: March 02, 2024, 02:22:03 PM »

I thought i was being clever and i killed ai inspection fleets as soon as they entered hyperspace... That was a mistake.

This just resets the timer and next ai inspection fleet will be bigger... The one after that will be bigger and so on and so forth.
After 4th loop i decided to quit being clever, killed 4 fleets in hyperspace and fought the rest in my system and that thankfuly ended the crisis.
It makes me wonder if the size scaling ever stops.

Update:
To clarify: I killed 4 inspection fleets in hyperspace and during the 5th i killed 4 fleets while the rest made it to the system and got clapped by the patrols and the crisis ended.

I tried to recreate this situation few times again and failed, the crisis ended with 3 fleets and talking to Daud.
I have no idea how i did this originaly. :(

To the contrary, there are a fixed number of fleets. They don't get bigger and repeat forever, though they did do so in prior builds.

Basically, the Hegemony can only afford to send so many fleets to their doom, while also watching out for the League, Diktat, and Tri-Tachyon. After you've shown that they're better off leaving you alone, Daud and his council will give up, write a bit of a press release to save face, and tell you you can do as you please.

Yes but i killed them total of 5 times.
On my previous save i fought them in my system and they sent only 3 inspections.

But all my attempts were on the same save file, i just loaded a previous save to see if i can do it again and i didn't do any raids on their planets.

i never expected the Hegemony to abide to the rules of reality in my lifetime. Though I did get like a 100 year long playthrough, so I'm probably dead.
