Hi, is it intentional that when I gift a market to a friendly faction, I only get a very minor reputation boost, but when said market then gets invaded by a hostile faction, I get a huge reputation penalty to my friendly faction? It seems odd to be so heavily penalised for gifting a faction a market, even if it is later inavded.

You don't lose rep for a friendly planet getting invaded (unless there's some obscure bug involved), so I'm not sure what you mean. If something like it happens again, look at the surrounding notifications and intel items and see if there's any cause of the rep loss (which may not have anything to do with the invasion itself).

On a side note, is it possible to add an option to reduce the stability penalty to raiding? It seems a bit too easy to decivilize hostile colonies with just a few raids

Next update implements a minimum raid strength (based on market size) to cause nonzero unrest. At some point I may also add diminishing returns to the unrest caused by raids.

Speaking of task group costs, unless I'm reading my income tab wrong, it seems to only charge me for my most recent taskforce, even if I have multiple up and running.

Yeah, I guess I didn't change the cost records to support multiple task groups. Will fix, thanks!

Is there a way to make the AI less prone to wars? I'd like to make wars rarer but also larger. I know I can make them larger by changing invasion/response fleet sizes, war weariness, etc but I also want to only have those wars happen once every few years, even with a ton of modded factions, without having to do something like flatten relations.

Increasing the diplomacy interval in data/config/exerelin/diplomacyConfig.json might do the job.

(In the same file, you can also reduce the chance of the four or so random negative events with "repLimit":"hostile", i.e. the ones that can push factions into war without either making an explicit decision to declare war)

Will try it, thank you friendly amino acid.

It's probably a dumb question but is there any way to track heg. fleet in showdown mission without following it? I can't find it for some reason...

* Random sector: Constrain min/max stars in central constellation

v0.10.5b - I cannot find such an option when I make a new run, not in sector generation, be it random or non random core worlds, nor in any of the configs (exerelin_config.json, settings.json in configs) in the the mod folder. 

[Histidine]

Oh, it's not an option, it's something hardcoded to keep the constellation from growing out of hand with the star system count set too high in the new game dialog.

If you create a blank file Starsector/saves/common/nex_dev.data the mission intel will show some debug locational info.
If the fleet hasn't reached its destination system yet, you can also go into hyperspace, enable dev mode and press Ctrl+Z to see everything in the location (although playing with this setting left on is not recommended)

[Dadada]

Ah, okay. Thank you for the update.

Hey, so, if there is a rebellion and you support the rebellion side by selling to the black market with your transponder on, once they take over the colony, you get a reputation penalty with them for selling stuff on the black market right after they capture said market.

thats an understatement, despite only getting a -15 rep hit, i completly lost my commission and went from 100 rep to -25 for some reason

[robepriority]

Speaking of funding revolutionaries - is the "trade with enemies" relation malus supposed to factor in black market trade?

[Histidine]

Reputation changes from trade is handled by vanilla code. Looking at it, it might be intentional, although I don't know if anyone has specifically brought it up to Alex.

Hmm, I think I did say previously I wanted to override this behavior, so maybe I will next version...

Needless to say, a -15 rep loss from +100 can't make you lose your commission, barring something like Iron Shell's enforcing of good relations with Hegemony (e.g. it kicks you out and restores relations if you attack Heg while having an IS commission). Did you notice any other reputation events at the time?

nope that was literally it

i even checked what else it could have done, since it left me so baffled why it just kicked me out so hard like that

Hello, I've been using Nexerelin Mod for a week a noticed how the mod changes how the srarsector vanilla market prices behaves.

On Vanilla I was used to play as a smuggler on early game and buy RD (recreational drugs) at 150+ Credits and sell on planets on 500+ Credits.

With the Nexerelin mod this breaks and leaves no only smuggling, but any trade from being profitable.

Even normal trading of commodities.

As an example the maximum price I can sell RD with Nexerelin turned on is 250+ CRT at maximum while with the mod disabled I can sell even in 700+ CRT on some of the more demanding planets of the inner systems.

I want to know if this can be changed via settings or if I have to bear the broken market while using the mod, because it happens with every commodity ingame.

This breaks Trader, Smuggler and Pirates gamestyles in my opinion.

[Histidine]

Hm. Vanilla never had such huge price discrepancies 'naturally' either, only during shortages. Nex just removes some of the free perma-shortages (specifically involving Luddic and pirate markets).

Shortages can still occur due to events, or you can create them yourself. Bar delivery quests are also an option. Keep in mind that Nex also reduces the tariffs for legitimate trade considerably (30% -> 18%, or 9% with free port).
