x3 albion prelude- is it possible to start a war between argons and paranids?

So im playing as argon and really hate the paranids, not strong enough to take them on myself tho... is there a way to gget argons and paranids to fight, ie. do enough raiding? and if there is a war, can argons occupy/conquest paranid sectors?

They'll raid each other from time to time, but they wont actually conquer each other's sectors in the vanilla game.

If you want that kind of feature, try asking in the mod forum. I think I've seen mods that do something similar to what you're suggesting, though I can't remember the names at the moment.

as Vim Razz said there is no real sector takeover scripts in the vanilla game but i am under the belief their are some on the S&M forum... to what extent they work i do not know.

closest thing i can think of doing in the vanilla game is positioning the HUB in a way to get the Argon to divert through there and in turn through Paranid space where they will engage each other.

Argon and Paranid aren't friends that's for sure but they don't exactly shoot each other on sight unfortunately (that would actually ruin the economy) so even when a military vessel of each race pass within firing distance of each other they don't (always) engage. I took a screen shot yesterday in fact of a H. Centaur passing within a couple of kms of a Zeus without incident :( I was hoping for more naturally.

The exception is that occasionally (in TC at least) a military raiding party is spawned that will enter "enemy" territory and do some damage. Any more than that and you'll have to look at a script/mod as has been said.
