So I think i've encountered a bug, not sure if it is due to vanilla nex or the combination of nex and Borken, but it has to do with your faction making peace with a faction where you are mid-capture of their market.

I was capturing a BRDY market and it completed as my faction (SCY) made peace with them. The following completion screen was titled "Not an acceptable invasion target" with the only option being a greyed out "Deploy PCR" that did nothing from the borken mod. I had no way to get out of this window, from buttons to esc to console commands, and was forced to alt+f4 the game.

As this requires a very precise timing I was unable to replicate it as I dont know how to force a faction to make peace with another on command when mid invasion.

So, after having played Nexerelin for some time, I decided to go and Instigate a Rebellion.  After a few weeks when I remembered I'd done so, I went back to look for first the starting time, then when I couldn't find that, if the the event had ended.  5 minutes of searching later I found it.  Turns out it's this fairly inconspicuous two-toned star that I never expected would even relate to a rebellion.

With that in mind, as well as the sheer number of events happening within the sector (there's about a dozen diplomacy events every minute) I think it's time to redesign some of the event icons.  All of Nexerelin's events should get grouped into a number of categories - those pertaining to public diplomacy (so things like war protests or donations), agent and saboteur actions (boosting relations, destroying response fleets, and the like) and war actions (deploying an invasion fleet, pirate pillaging, rebellions, and the like).  Each should have it's own distinctive color palette and designs to make telling what these are at a glance easier.  For example, capturing a station might use this icon, a white fist on a red background using the same pallette as the war declaration icon:
as opposed to the war declaration icon
You can tell this is war event at a quick glance, as well as see that a station was captured by some faction, without having to read the text.  Might make the intel screen a bit easier on the eyes. :)

I've decided to try playing as the Path a bit, and I think I've encountered a few issues:

1) The most glaring one is that other Pathers still "ask" you for a tithe despite you being one of them. If you're silly enough to turn your transponder on for any reason chances are you'll either be saddled with several fines, one from each Pather fleet that can see you, or you'll be forced to fight for your life. This is actually fairly gamebreaking, for obvious reasons.

2) I still have no idea if the black market is legal to use or not. I can dock to the Pather homeworld without my transponder on, but I have also been stopped by their ships for smuggling (although this may be because I accidentally sold some harvested organs to them). It would make sense if it was legal, and it would make sense if it was illegal. I feel like this needs further clarification.

3) Their open markets accept stuff that should be illegal, like the aforementioned organs.

That's because most Pather bases are "Free Ports", meaning no restrictions on what you can sell on the Open Market from my last check.

Ah okay, I didn't think to check. However, the tithing issue still stands. I've had to give up playing them, as refusing one tithe made them permanently hostile to me and caused them to kick me out. For now it seems they aren't very playable (unless I did something to provoke them into asking me for a tithe, but that isn't very clear).

@The Soldier: Good call, thanks for the feedback and the icon! I want to see how the intel UI has been revised in 0.9 before doing anything here though.

Ah, found the problem. I'll probably fix it for next release; in the meantime you can open Starsector's base rules.csv (in /starsector-core/data/campaign/ on Windows) and edit the LPTitheCheck row (row 159):

Code: txt
$faction.id == luddic_path score:100
RepIsAtWorst $faction.id HOSTILE
[b]RepIsAtBest $faction.id INHOSPITABLE[/b]
!$LP_tithePaid
!$LP_titheAskedFor
$relativeStrength >= 0
LPTitheCalc

The bolded line will make the Path not demand a tithe if you're suspicious or better with them.

Thanks, that seems to have done the trick. Interesting that Alex would make it impossible to coexist with the Path in vanilla as well; seems like that should be an option if for some reason you feel like grinding Pather rep.

Can we have an additional mode. Maybe make it a callback to the old Exelerelin where you had a fleet start your first planet.. I miss that mode

Hehe. I remember getting jumped by another faction once and ending up with starting 2 planets with the loot. Good times.

Don't reveal spoilers if you don't want to spoil late game, its really cool stuff and I don't want to ruin your 1 year wait for this update :)

I think this one is going to take some time... so many things from nexerelin are now part of the base game and I thing the market owner sections are most likely going to need him to rewrite the whole thing :3

I wonder what he will do with colony management if he will add new types of markets like terraforming buildings so we could terraform astronomical bodies if they are desertic to earth-like worlds or jungle worlds.  Colonized planets would have to use a layer like the
Spoiler
planetary shield
[close]
that basically loses transparency over time and becomes opaque so that a desert planet slowly tansitions to a earth-like using the same texture found in the planetary textures folder. It could be done now that alex actually added the
Spoiler
red planet which once you remove the shield it reveals the planet underneath
[close]
without altering the whole world gen. It would be really cool but the issue is that this is most likely going to be thrown aside since is never been done and honestly it would be a shame if this wasn't made now that we could do something like that. Terraforming should be in the game and we could add planet shades or mirrors that we would need to build in order to stabilize a planet's atmosphere.

 All the textures are already in the game and the code that would allow this is already in the game other than the logic forthe different elements like: how many shades or mirrors would a planet need to be fully stabalized (insufficient numbers would basically prevent reaching 100% habitable or desired conditions but would get partly there), a new item that needs to be bought that would need to be shipped in massive quantities like ice, volatiles and organics (ice canons like in penelop's star would be sufficient for ice and volitiles) and lasty a custom placement code so that once terraforming starts, stable orbit spots would show up so the player could build space installations at a really big cost.

I am not expecting this to be added histidine, all I am doing is giving you ideas and its your mod after all. It would just be cool to see this added since battlestations and other stuff like that arent needed anymore.

The mod hasn't been updated for Starsector 0.9a yet, so unless you're playing the older version of SS it's not going to work.
