Also I noticed this before but it's a bit of a pain though I don't know if this mod is the cause of it or if it's vanilla but ships with missiles like to barrage the occasional small red station traffic ships that pop up once and a while. The root result of this is station modules getting blown to hell and in one instance usually friendly allies to each other blowing each other to hell. Instance of this happening was in 18 billion near the MIN wharf and a barrage of missiles from a TEL Company ship was fired at a smuggling station traffic transporter. End result was several destroyed modules and The MIN and TEL fleets in the sector blowing each other up along with stations shooting the TEL ships wandering near it. You'd think the NPC's would scan their surroundings and make sure there are no friendly stations in their line of fire when it comes to missiles and torpedo's.
...I've updated several patrol behaviors in this update that could help with this, but this is ultimately a vanilla issue. If I 'fixed' it, then many of the NPC patrols would not work quite right anymore.
I wonder if someone could create a news ticker/alert mod that notices weird things like that and reports on them to players.

lol thought you'd get some amusement out of that post
I would totally love to see a live feed news thing, maybe an improvement of the X3TC news mod.
Is there a possibility to make fighters focus on surface elements when fighting capital ships? Also is it possible to make fighters launch missiles 2~3 times before they get in-range and destroy modules? (little bit similar to Xrebirth behavior) Because know even when i set a missile frigate (Gorgon with MK2 torpedoes) it just gets within 1km from enemy capital ship and dies...

They try and do this even in vanilla, though it is very dependent on pilot skills. With the AAI core and targeting module enabled they are even more focused on wiping out surface elements on capships and stations (Especially if they only have missiles!). Note that Medium ships that are not equipped with main missiles focus on fighters over larger targets though.

While they will use missiles on approach more often now, they will not hang back for multiple salvos unless they only have missiles equipped. If they have mixed weapons it is assumed that they should be using all of t hem.
After enabling "debug scripts" it seems like it stays on in a saved game - even after disabling it again (or even deleting the folder). Logfile gets spammed like You mentioned - and pretty good too. It might gave something to do that the content of the variable "$debugchance" gets saved with the game?

You can tell which of these 6 folders to use.? Can these packs be used all together or are there any restrictions?
He has split his mod into multiple mods (but you download them all at once)
This way you can choose to use only the changes that you want. Previously you had to accept everything the mod changes in order to use it.
Refer to the updated first post to know what each mod does.
For example if you are not going to do any testing or logging of scripts, you leave out the mods 'Debug Combat' and 'Debug Scripts'

Yeah, it is stuck in debug mode for any ships that entered combat while in view, the only way to disable it is to edit the script debug files and set all the 100's to 0's then run your anti-debug mod

There are no restrictions between modules, except that they rely on changes made in core, and the easiest way to manage is to install them all then turn them on and off through the 'Extensions' menu in game. That way you see a description of what they do and can choose between them. Added this to the FAQ as it is a good question

REQUEST: Player station turrets default aggressive.
Mine are in def-mode and enemies just fly right by...
Interesting, there is a specific station configuration option to force that, but I cannot see it being set anywhere ($config_attackenemies to true on the station). I'd think it would be something you talk to the station manager about and needs to be modded into the conversation tree instead of being a default...never played in there before though
Soooo... What does that mean?
"Can it be modded" so the turrets go aggro? To be honest i dont really see a need for them to NOT go all out. At the moment, considoring where the game is at, i dont think anyone would mind if the were permanently on aggro-mode.

Tossed it up as an optional file module on the Nexus, not heavily tested but should do what you want. Note that the change is permanent for affected stations!
Just tried installing this a few minutes ago, my saved games would not load past 55%, turned off all but the core but the same effect. Only once all AAI extensions were turned off did my saved games load. Does it only work with new games?

Hmmm, it should not have any dangerous effect on the universe that would cause a crash. Which other mods are in use? There could be a conflict if they are altering fight scripts as well (as of 2.0 I do not override all other fight script changes).
I downloaded this mod last night and loved the idea and what it appeared to do.. however it crashed my game (repeatedly at the same point) when I tried a mass attack (in sector) on a heavily armed HAT station..
I reloaded the save and tried the attack again three times and each time resulted in a hard crash. Not sure what to do or where to go to help with debug issues.
the only other mods I run are TaterTrader 3 and the station wares fix mod.
