I got tired of the universe being too quiet, and did not find elsewhere what I wanted either. So I decided to have a go at it myself. I was supposed to release them separately for each race but decided to put them all in one package instead. I used TTL's Kha'ak Invasions as a template, as he stated anyone was free to expand on his script: http://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php? ... 00#2819200
This is an AL-plugin, so you can choose which one of the Invasions you want to have turned on, or if you like them all turned on.
Invasions included are:
Split <-> Boron
Argon <-> Paranid
Yaki invades just about anyone except Terrans
Xenon invades all races
The Teladi doesn't invade anyone, but they can get hit by Xenon and Yaki invasions. Teladi is just happy for the profffitsss from the wars!
I am working to get a Pirate invasion going, but there are some unforeseen obstacles although I am working on it. I am also working a bit on the old Kha'ak Invasion script. But this is what is included so far.
Examples:
Scenario 1: Xenon invades Argon space, you intercept and wipe out their forces. Result, you get paid. Not too much, but not little either. I feel the old formula is balanced there.
Scenario 2: Split invades Boron space. After a while a Boron Defense Force arrives, just in case you don't want to fight but also because the default defense isn't working so great. If you should decide to help the Boron, you should get paid just as if you fought the Xenon as mentioned above. Of course you will lose reputation with the Split if you do
But the pay is just a bonus really. I just wanted to see some battles except my own, and feel that there was some kind of conflict albeit not over the top ones. There is no taking of sectors here, yet at least. You should only hear about the invasions if the sector is known to you.
The invasions are scaled randomly, and the defense forces too. Some times it can be just a few ships, but other times it can be a small armada. The interval of invasions are also random, and it can take a couple of days in-game-time before you see your first one. Or it can be sooner. My computer is a P4 930D 3ghz, 2 gig ram, 4850 Toxic card running Vista Ultimate SP1 and there is no problem here with size of invasions.
I've spent hours on hours just watching battles unfold, and it is lovely. You can participate, watch and even pick up the loot after. It is not often they drop weapons, but it does happen. If you are lucky, you can even use the chance to board one of the vessels while they are fighting. But beware so it doesn't get destroyed while you're at it.
This is version 1.0a. There will be updates, but I can not promise how fast it will be done or when it will be done. I am swamped at work these days, and I have been working overtime at home to finish these scripts for first release. Now I need some rest, and food....
I will accept input, but I can not and will not promise that I will listen. I have a vision of how I want things to be. As a modder I am fairly fresh, and things take time with me. Do not expect me to understand hardc0re modder lingo or such
Keep all this in mind if you decide to try it out, please.
It is compatible and working normally even today, 06.05.13

Changelog:

I just figure once the invasions start, with the RRF script going it will just keep escalating until just about every sector is a major battleground
