While I did add some extra asset quota to various allied factions, I think there's still more on the table, so to speak. I've not touched the Xenon, as they're really strong as is. Must be my mod combination, though I've disabled any jobs that add additional ships, such as those in the XR Ship Pack mod.BlackRain wrote: ↑Wed, 28.

Although, they may even start beating the xenon on their own. You would have to play with the numbers, but I would start a new game without any additional xenon ships and activate as many of the different faction ships as you want, maybe start with just the basic options at first and then increase them slowly over time. That should keep the xenon manageable I would think. I mean, when I started a new game a while ago, the Xenon even with their extra ships on were getting a beat down (this is with VRO, etc.) This was with all the faction options on for every faction. The good thing about activating the ships when you start a new game is that the game should start with all of those extra ships already existing in the game, so the factions would have that extra firepower and the xenon wouldn't.
I'll have a look at the config file again, and see if I can help the allied factions out some more. However, I think part of the issue is behavioural. I.e. there was a major invasion of a TEL sector, yet they had several LARGE Battleship groups paroling the area. However, they each engaged one at a time over the space of 30 minutes or so, and died in turn. I coordinated my defence with the arrival of the first of these fleets, but had to retreat. Finally won, but if those fleets had engaged together - they were literally doing nothing else, just approaching at a snail's pace - then that I would not have lasted long at all.
Weirdly though, the Terran fleets seem largely depleted. They were fielding multiple large fleets in Getsu Fune, but that's not the case any more. It's like they're not replacing losses effectively.
