@angrytigerp: Personally, what I do is go for one of the start-without-a-colony options, and then establish my first colony wherever makes sense.  If you'd rather start with a colony, you can use console commands and give yourself the necessary resources to start one in an empty system somewhere.  (It's also possible, albeit a more advanced use, to use console commands to outright create a new planet to order; see, for example, this post.

On a possibly-a-bug-report note, how long is it supposed to take the pather terrorists to re-establish a cell after one is broken up by an Agent?  Because at least so far I've never had a cell re-establish itself, after at least a couple of in-game years.

I didn't intentionally code it or anything, but it seems like they'll never respawn (and I think I can spot why in the vanilla cell code).
I could make the agent action disrupt the cell for something like 2 years instead of removing it outright, I guess?

I'd suggest one year at most - that's how long you get if you blow up their base, after all.  (Speaking of: I haven't looked at the code, but maybe having the agent reduce the pather cell to the same inactive state you get from blowing up the base would work better than removing the condition entirely?  From a player perspective, it would be nice to have that condition still there with the timer on it to when it's going to be a problem again.)

How about a removal only if the LP has been completely destroyed and a disruption in the case they're still around?

does it make sense to use this mod with 0.9a still or is it redundant?

Why would it be redundant? It basically adds parts to the game that should already be there.

faction wars, and diplomacy changes, isn't all that part of the game by default now? I think before it wasn't, but now with colonies etc, these features are standard?

Upgrading to 0.9a rc10 broke all other mods I used like ship/weapon pack etc.

Nex adds the ability to invade other markets, among other things. Mining, Agents, requesting support fleets, the list goes on.

Just wanted to suggest something, could market reserve fleets make a return? To often it seems the AI fleets leave their markets undefended or you can engage in a simple game of attritioning nearby fleets then fighting the station solo and only star fortresses are capable of any real fight. Back when markets had reserve fleets it was always rather fun in a challenging kind of way fighting first through a largish fleet then later fighting the big brother of that fleet and the mod added station at the same time.

You'd have to be careful with it scaling up defense power too much - and completely nullifying the ability of the player to lure fleets away through various means - but if something like this was made to only take effect if no nearby fleets join the fight (ie. you would otherwise be fighting the station alone and nothing else), and would generate a "reserve fleet" of relatively low power, it'd be fine.

regarding player invading markets, it should at least not happen instantly, the progress bar could return imho, personally i just outlaw player invasions (the same way i outlaw waiting for a faction to start winning the game only to use agents to then make them my friend) i find requesting an invasion fleet and escorting the landing armada in more interesting in any case.

something i want to bring attention to however is that in my current game of about 5 years NONE of the factions have been wiped out, i wondered for a while what was causing it, and it seems that systems with PIRATE bases just cannot be invaded, this is because the invasion fleet gets stuck on chasing pirate fleets and fighting the pirate base, leaving not nearly enough strength left for the actual invasion, and this is only relevant if the chasing of pirate fleets does not cause the invasion target to sign a cease-fire agreement before they even get to the target, something that happens over 90% of the time (i have followed invasion fleets around many times by now)

to fix this in my own game i ended up turning allow pirate invasions to true, this way the pirate markets will eventually be conquered by a non pirate and allow in or out of that system in the future, i do not play a pirate play style, preferring to pick a faction and try to make it win the game, but i can imagine this solution not being very nice if you want to be hostile to the civilized factions, as you would only have the spawned pirate bases far away as markets to sell or buy from

a fix to this could be to make invasion fleets consider pirate bases in their star system and the destination star system and get a little bit extra strength to compansate for this.

another solution would be to make invasions BIGGER in general, but cause an accompanying "counter invasion" fleet spawn at the invasion target, this would allow to make invasions large enough to swat aside pirate presence, but still have a balanced space fight with the defenders (besides i actually liked the giant fights on the first few patches of 0.9 nexerelin, this would allow for random invasion sizes again, as you could just spawn an appropriate counter-invasion fleet if the invasion is randomly very large)

i think mby invasion fleet buildup could be slow, but states of war end very fast, so mby this is something to look at as well, factions that are at war without a positive diplo event should stay at war a bit longer imho, but if there is friendly relations events then they should stop fighting fast imho.

another thing that bugs me a little bit is that the diplomacy events happen all the time making it hard to keep track of with many factions, i would like if diplomacy events happened at a constant global rate, rather than once every so often per faction (so more events with more factions) the factions involved in a diplo event can still be rolled randomly so it does not feel mechanical

Is this a known issue?:  I repatriate a prisoner, and my carefully ordered inventory gets "auto-sorted"...which is a disaster since I like to collect every weapon and have my inventory arranged just so...

i rly wish the game had a "configurable auto sell" gui ingame like the faction fleet blueprint screen, i dont want to NOT pick up weapons, but all this junk takes a lot of space, sorting it takes a lot of time, and selling from the auto sorted state is horrible, honestly i just store all the junk and buy more atlas ships that i do not want, but i wish there was a better way

Tried it and if my prisoner count drops to zero, it removes all the empty spaces between stacks, but the order of the stacks is preserved. Is that what you're seeing?

Although the code involved is pretty weird anyway (I think it's a leftover from back when it was Exerelin) so I've cleaned it up. It won't move items at all in the next version.

Yeah I think you have crushed the exact bug! (cue the squish.wav).  Huzzah!

a) I have a sorting scheme where the right five columns are for my weapons and fighter stash.  Everything else is clumped on the right columns.  Yes, often there is an empty column to keep me sane.

b) Bonus:  you have also provided a workaround to keep me sane in the current release:  keep at least one prisoner at all times. 

They'll just have to wait until the next patch to return home....good for them that I've upgraded my prison food to AN ENTIRE CAN of tuna a day.
