You can go into the mod's settings and effectively 'turn off' colonization by cranking up the amount of time before/between colonization attempts.

It's one of the settings I usually mess with myself; while having the AI colonize places makes some degree of lore-sense, it works poorly with gameplay; exploration as the player is rather slow, while the AI can just pick wherever it likes.

...Also, I've seen the AI cheerfully colonize medium or high hazard systems, and unless I'm right there when the colony fleet arrives, they tend to succeed at this, rather than getting blown out of the sky by the remnants like they ought to.

That all said, it's a setting I'm also happy enough to revert to original values once I've got myself comfortably settled. I know Nex is kindof made with the assumption that the player starts with either a colony or a commission, but I prefer to go with free start - and would really like an option along the lines of 'no invasions, alliances, or colonization until the player has a size four colony and is ready to play the game on that level'.

Since when?

Even with default settings factions are very slow to colonize anything IMO. It takes little time for the player, even with Starfarer mode+Ruthless Sector+Starpocalypse, to have surveyed a large span of the sector and assembled the required crew and supplies/HM to start multiple colonies. It's even easier now that size 3 colonies are effectively protected by god mode and you don't have to prepare funds in advance to build big defenses.

I do wish that something was changed about how factions actually colonize though, I've sometimes escorted friendly colony fleets myself only to see them loiter near the jump point for days without approaching the target planet (despite no enemies nearby) followed by colonization having "failed" and them retreating.

Also note that certain factions are more aggressive about colonization than others, and this includes mod factions.

If you play with Scy Nation or Volkov, prepare for them to be colonizing maggots given no adjustment and plenty of time.

Hello, is it ok if I ask for help here regarding a crash?

I'm trying to raid a word every ~3 days to get blueprints, and after a few raids, every time I click "show military options", the game crashes.

I doubt someone can help, but doesn't hurt asking.
Been really enjoying the mod thus far. Thank you for all.

edit: i don't know javascript or anything about modding this game, but i searched the files and as far as i got was line 365 of Next_MarketCMD.java

for (CampaignFleetAPI fleet : b.getNonPlayerSide()) {
                     if (fleet == responder) continue;
                     if (!fleet.isStationMode()) {
                        hasNonStation = true;
                        hasOtherButInsignificant &= Misc.isInsignificant(fleet);
                     }
                  }

Looks like it is iterating on fleets that don't belong to my faction, but I don't know how to follow Misc.isInsignificant(fleet).I don't understand if that's a file or a method... can't make sense of it.

edit2: looks like Misc is actually in core game Fractal Softworks\Starsector\starsector-core\starfarer.api.zip. Indeed "isInsignificant" method does not exist. Well, that's as far as my sherlock holmes goes. 

edit3: the lines containing isInsignificant were introduced in commit 84561b5f27c33d193dbd83cb7fb782dd45a715ca in 5/23/2021.

* Fix battle join logic when taking military action against a market

I'm going to try raid without any ships around or something.

edit4: yup, trying to click "military options" in a station/planet with nearby enemy fleet causes crash consistently. No fleet nearby, no crash.

Might need to think over whether I should change some rules to prevent early Heg/League alliances, or I should just let the player use the console to remove the victory in the rare cases it happens (because more rule complexity is undesirable).

@Seleukus: Update your Starsector (latest is 0.95a-RC15, you can get it on the same release page as previous 0.95 releases).

Yeah I'm playing with HMI, Xhan and Scy and HMI has by far the most colonies. They are very aggressive and keen on invading other planets. Right now they have 21 markets while the second largest faction is the Hegemony with 12. Most others have 2-6.

Please make L4R affect agents in some way!

[megabot]

so a small note/request, could you maybe add a feature that makes it so that if i have a planet in a system and give another planet to some other faction(hunting grounds, reviving dead factions) in the same system that they basically have no claim over any planet? they did not seem to act upon anything but so far the game says that the planets are probably are gonna die if i colonize them

[Seleukus]

Hello, in previous game version 091 I would use operative (from nexerelin) to boost standings, buy ships and do other stuff. In new new version 095, I can't find these guys anymore. Please advise.

[Yunru]

They're still there, it's just the bars are a lot more busy.

Prism Freeport sells HVB boss ships right off the bat when Vayra's Sector isn't installed. Is this so that you're not locked out of the boss ships without Vayra's Sector or simply because there is no variable associated with the ships so it just defaults to selling them?

There is a minor issue in the special contact mission when you go down the bribe route, I had to talk to the portmaster twice for the "Return to Prism Freeport" mission prompt to show up in the interaction dialog which probably means that returning to Prism without talking twice won't let you progress? Edit:Did it again and it was just the prompt not showing up. Though there is some weirdness like docking immediately with Asharu after buying them makes the "Return to Prism Freeport" show up before "Your fleet approaches Asharu". Is this because of the vanilla mission system and not Nexerelin?

What, as in beyond the existing +1 agent shared with L4L? I don't know what I'd change there or why, but if you have ideas feel free to post them.

If you keep the largest military planet (or the largest planet period if no military bases are present in the system) that'll keep you as the owner. (Note that this isn't reflected in the colonization screen text, because I can't change that)

I've deliberately made the HVB ships available, yeah.

Yeah, you need to undock for a bit for it to progress. I think that's just how vanilla works seeing as I copied the code from there, although there's probably a way to make it instant and I just haven't looked for it yet.

[Kryzaec]

Lmao, just started a campaign with nex, no other mods.

After 1 Minute: Hegemony and Luddic Church formed the Alliance "Galactic Federation"

After 5 Minutes: Persean League joined "Galactic Federation"

After 5 Minutes: "Hegemony and its allies have become the dominant force in the Galaxy with others slipping into irrelevance" "Hegemony Conquest Victory"

Gave me a good chuckle 

Guess i'll have to send an Agent to remind the Persean League why they formed in the first place

[hollow]

Hi there!
I was just wondering If there is a setting to increase the size of the markets I can purchase from the factions I am commissioned by.

[capshades]

Sorry if this has already been discussed, I just can't find it in the settings:

Is it possible to make Automated ships storable in outposts?
