I could do something like "Aztlan appears, but Corvus doesn't" (with a pre-game dialog to determine which systems appear and which don't), but it really doesn't seem very interesting, and would be a bunch of work for modders besides. Per-planet basis would be even more work.
If a mod wants its handmade specific star system to appear in random sector it can already do that easily.

Big update. Appears save-compatible.

Wondering if Rebellions would be cheaper than troops and arments costs for Invasions; then again Rebellions don't cause instant wars with another faction

Very small but the "Back" option on the "Other Options" on new game creation isn't mapped to ESC anymore.

EDIT: Also a debug message gets printed even without devmode when a vulture fleet spawns kinda like the special task forces in devmode.

[WeWickYou]

hello,

1st i want to say great job this mod very good.

now i gave question, is there any "issue" with the raid launched by player faction, (privateer base from IR), because game say i outmatch or i'm superior (even something i go help) yet it fail.

(did see something about it in âtch note but i'm not clear if it's the same issue or not)

Oops; fixed both issues for next version.

Is the strength message from right before the raid is resolved, or some time before?
A raid result going against the stated message at the time of autoresolve the is something that shouldn't happen AFAIK. But the system defenses (and thus the displayed message) can change if things happen at the target area; one potentially significant cause of this is special task groups moving in and out of the system (potentially in response to the raid itself).

[Minitialize]

Hello, I'd like to suggest adding another option when requesting a defense fleet-- A slider which determines the amount of time a defense fleet stays around a target market (similar to an invasion fleet, where you can choose the amount of marines a fleet can carry).

I've had multiple instances of requesting a defense fleet too early, that by the time an invasion came to one of my markets, the defense fleet already left. Sometimes when I try to time it right (in my head) by requesting a defense fleet after a certain amount of days have passed, I'd occasionally forget about it due to the numerous events that take place in-game that it just slips through my head.

I just noticed the new update talks about templar tweaks: I thought that mod was in hiatus  (the forum says it is up to date for only as far as .81a)

There are updated "test" versions in the Discord.

If vulture fleets were intended to prevent the player from suddenly going from a solo frigate to a capital ship, maybe they shouldn't spawn when the invading/raiding faction is hostile to the independents.
The reason is because vulture fleets would fight the invaders/raiders and generate even more free stuff and them typically having a somewhat large fleet also helps because they might destroy a capital ship or two in the process.
This scenario wouldn't happen if you don't have pirate invasions turned on(why not) or don't have templars installed but it still happens.

[Modo44]

Another vulture fleet issue is that they tend to wreck pirates in a system, which makes system bounties unprofitable. If they could be truly dedicated to salvaging first, that would help.

[basileus]

Yeah, I started a Pather game.  If the idea was to reduce salvage/junk in a system, it's backfired spectacularly in this case.  It doesn't seem like there's much, if any, cooldown between Vulture fleet spawns.

[Jaghaimo]

The vulture spawning feels really off, so many of them spawning everywhere (basically every conflict), and even for a little skirmish it spawns a huge-ass fleet. Perhaps they could spawn relative to player's size (so I could fight them for salvage if I wanted).

[Histidine]

They're not necessarily meant to reduce the absolute amount of salvage as such (although they will if the player isn't nearby); just prevent the player from getting salvage you didn't personally kill, unless you want to fight for it. There's also a limit to how many spawn based on number of ongoing raids and salvagables (derelict ships and debris fields) in the system, with no fleets spawning if the numbers of each are too low.

That said, I didn't look into what happens when the player is hostile to independents, and vultures fighting people on their own is undesirable. Also the fact that vulture fleet sizes are largely RNG-based may not be desirable?
I'll try some things in dev. Maybe a "when finding things to salvage, don't include things near a hostile fleet" rule would be good, among others.
