Vanilla-friendly: No other mods required.
What this mod does: This mod is intended to balance pirates for multiplayer or hardcore singleplayer. Ever wanted generated fleets to battle on-the-fly without stepping into creative mode? This is the mod for you. I initially made this mod for me because I couldn't find something like this. So I thought I'd share it with the community. Enjoy!
FAQ: • Can I use this is an existing world? Yes. You won't need to start a new world. • Why are there no pirates spawning? Check if your start scenario is one that spawns pirate encounters. • Will you be adding more ships? I've stopped working on this particular version of the mod. • Do I need to enable cargo ships? No, but it's highly recommended. • Can this work with other mods? The only mod I know that interferes with this is EEM or other WAP versions. • Ships aren't chasing me? Make sure programmable blocks are enabled in your world.
Ships and stations are derived from the IMDC packs made by JD Horx (with their permission). I've made modifications to them to make them compatible with the AI scripts here. You may use this mod as you please - just be sure to give credit appropriately.
All of the ships have a unique personality in how they fight. Their main focus is protection of their territory. Cargo and utility ships will flee. Most combat ships will come straight at you and try to line up their main weapons to you. Some will try to ram you, others won't. Most combat ships will call off hunting you and retreat when they are unable to fight or if a certain amount of time passes. If you take out the broadcasting antenna, the spawning will be interrupted and enemy reinforcements will be cut off. Retreating out of their radar range will also cease the spawning (though some ships will still hunt).
