Tater Trader running on six L ships. I am going to remove this soon though because it is not really needed. I doubt six ships running this script causes lag though.
The mod that does a 360 degree long range scan. Removing this too, because I have explored every sector myself after I stopped using explorers.
Improved Explorer mod. It is still active, but I do not use the command since reading about explorers being bugged. It happens on vanilla, so i doubt the mod is the cause.
Trade Station Wares Sink. I am not sure it is needed tbh. I wonder if it makes the station spam worse by increasing demand for goods.
No Encounters. I wish this was a game option. Spawning enemies just for me? That ain't fair! Effect on the game? Could result in slightly less attrition of NPC ships who are unlucky enough to be near me getting special spawn treatment.
Remove Highways. I love this mod and do not want to play without it. I enjoyed my first rides on the highways, but now they just get in the way and feel less like the old X that I have nostalgia/hate for
The only effect I have noticed is Xenon will show up in sectors where they are rarely seen if highways are in the game. EquipNoRNG. I installed this but have no idea what it actually does.
Improved tractor beam. A bit cheaty, but a great time saver. Not using it much because I do not get to do much combat because the sectors are too crowed and i am spending so much time checking my fleets to make sure they are not running to their deaths in Scale Plate Green etc.
That's all I have running. Are any of them known to make these problems I described worse, or even be the cause of them? I just registered so i can get the beta that is coming. it will apparently address some of these issues.
