Random Contacts

[Nanaki]

You must mean flights, and no, no flight has more than 6 fighters assigned to them. Rather than assign all ships to one flight, like I did in my original Convoy mod, I am using triggers to spawn multiple flights to escort a central ship. These escorts are escorting either a capital ship (in the case of fleets) or a transport (in the case of convoys).

The size of the group depends on what the random generator spits out. Fleets can have anywhere from one to four escort flights. Convoys have 2-3 escort flights. Each escort flight has anywhere from 3-6 ships. So you can have a fleet with 25 ships total max. Although fleets with 1 or 4 escort flights are rather rare, 2 and 3 are more common numbers, which you will usually have roughly 10-15 ships.

Fleets can be found in many places, although convoys can only be found in systems where they are not likely to be destroyed by other random contacts. Certain systems are specifically designed to have the potential for opposing fleets to fight eachother.

Currently, both fleets and convoys are very rare, with a roughly 10% chance to spawn with each spawn check.

By the way, im reading Starrover.ru, I noticed you asked about specials.script, why didnt you ask me? I can help you with anything regarding that script. Would love to register to starrover.ru, but for some reason I am not getting the confirmation email.
