This is really fun, thanks for making it! It took me a while to find settings that worked for me, but starting in a fairly big system with only two factions then having the others start to show up 2-4 months later seem to be the sweet spot for me.
Thanks Rhoastabotch
and I agree, it takes a bit of time to find what works best for you.
If I can make an enhancement request, as a fan, I would really like to decide which other factions show up. --- snip ---
The first post in this thread has details on how to remove factions you don't want to play with/against. See the 'Restricting Certain Included Factions' guide.

Thanks! I'll have a look when I get a chance
Regarding OP ships
A few pages back (or maybe quite a few, or maybe somewhere else, I forget
) it was discussed having a list of ships per faction that are included in fleets under certain conditions, and that do not appear in stations for sale. Examples would include the Unsung, Vatican IV, Stormcrow etc.
It seems a bit of a shame to have these interesting ships that do not get used, so I would prefer to look for a way to include them even if they are super rare
Regarding cross-faction balance discussion appearing in this thread
I think Exerelin sets up a pretty good stage for faction vs. faction, and so perhaps differences are more noticeable (and irritating
)
