[X3TC] Enemies leveling

Hello,

Is somebody knows the approximate leveling of enemies (vessel types and number) as a function of the fighting rank during missions (station protection, patrol, plots) in the last MAJ of X3TC.

I am currently 'Eagle Eye' and I encounter only M5 and M4 (few M3) during missions.

I remember a harder game with MAJ 1.4 to 2.0 (I didn't play the game since those MAJ).

It's difficult to google-search for it, since the keywords are common words.

I know it's a formula based on points, with your fight rank + mission difficulty generating "points" which are then "spent" on picking ships, with M6's costing more than M3's costing more than M4's etc.

kind of interesting stuff. It multiplies fight rank by a number due to mission rank then divides by a number between 1-100, so its just the ip or fight rank really, in my estimate. There's some variability but it seems fairly consistent despite the random number. maybe more changes due to mission rank.

At eagle eye you only get 40ish points and an m8 cost 40 by itself. I just started to get m7's. If only a day or two earlier i could have tried to keep it where i could use my fighters against fighters and m6 without worry of m7's ripping them up with flak.

I'd almost prefer to be abl;e to bring ships in sector to generate more bad guys. I'll have to test whether the ship your in really doesn't matter anymore either. You can't get an m4 until lvl 6. 5 or 6 m5 would be unfortunate to fight in an m5 but you'd have to be high race rank to get a very hard early mission or something or likely have a better ship by then. Over crusader you can probably expect regular m2's. xtreme up to 6 m2 but they likely mix it up with m1 and m1 support etc. If it gets multiplied by RN 85 and divided an unlikely 1, there must be some limit, because that would be 85x 4000. Thats 500 m2's but my numbers have been wrong before. Or that is x-treme.
