I hope the Independent Reich is gone for good this time.

Good god, I decided to do some mining to catch up on all the money I'd burned by loosing some freighters of mine.

Now I'm juggling more fighters than I know what to do with. o.O I've gotten about 5 wings of fighters (including a rather nice Scutum Defense Wing) in 10 minutes.  A lot of people are going to come back to their stash and wonder where the hell a bunch of AI controlled fighters wandered off to, heh.

is that update going to mess with my current save?

Is it possible to include a faction mod but prevent the faction from being spawned?  Ideally, is it also possible to prevent it's ships from being used at all, leaving only the weapons/hullmods?  I want to use Citadel's weapons without the abnormal supply costs I hear they have at the moment.

I swear something like this was mentioned, but I've been searching the forums for half an hour without any luck.

I've actually asked that not too long ago.

I've noticed that if you have a mod that adds ships and weapons, but for whatever reason it doesn't show up in the game, those ships and weapons occasionally pop up in random markets.

I actually kind of like that, so is there a way to prevent a faction from generating? Cause I kinda want to do that with Approlight.

Open up Nexerelin/Data/config/exerelin/exerelinfactionconfig and alter the faction's json and set "playableFaction" to false.

Awesome, that's what I remember seeing!  Thanks for hooking me up.

I'm having a lot of slowdown after many cycles in the game.  I think there are so many fleets flying around it's bogging down the computer.  When I go into hyperspace I usually see 20 separate remnants of pirate armadas, each composed of 1-2 frigates, bunched together in a battle with a few random factions.  Is there a destroy all fleets button?

A minor note on this:

* Starting skill points 6 -> 4 (match vanilla/SS+)

It seems you only changed the text message. You are still giving out 6 skill points:

NGCAddSkillPoints 6

Thanks for the update, and happy a late Christmas.

I have a couple questions about how commissions work with Nexerelin.  If you are independent and accept a commission with a faction, if you capture a market does it start the player's faction or does it now belong to the faction you have a commission with?  Can the player faction offer commissions?

It belongs to the player's faction (followers), and no.

Yeah, I noticed that a few hours after the release
It's a minor bug though, so fixing it will just have to wait for next version.

Thanks for the answers, and I don't think anyone is worried about starting with 2 extra skill points. =)

Are allowing the player faction to appear on the factions screen and letting it issue commissions feasible future features?  I like the player faction because it draws from a wide mix of ships and weapons, but I'd like the benefits of having a commission as well.

I think it is more about consistency rather than anything else XD Most would not mind the two extra points for sure *whispers* I do not X3

Benefits of having a commission? What are these benefits that the followers lack?

The player faction allows you by default to buy all the ship they offer.
They pay you monthly some money, instead of just a small amount when you kill their enemies.
They always like you with your actions, even without commissions.
They don't force you to keep killing their enemies every time a temporary truce comes to an end.

I do not see what more the commission gives >.> I do see though "less"~ Except if you mean to add to the difficulty of the faction, rather than being all "easy" to have your own faction.
