ZYA forces in FRF Territory

[Frenchie2403]

Hi, I have been playing the expansion for a few hours and loving it! I have been trying to eradicate the ZYA forces so I can set up some safe trade routes.
However, it seems like they are being replenished. Do ZYA actively patrol FRF territory and keep sending reinforcements, or is it possible to clear them FRF space?

Their territories are to the West, accessed through a different gate, so I imagine they'll just keep on coming. - The start rep with Zyarth was -15, and they haven't attacked me at all, so you *should* have been safe. - I had a false start when my sector patrols engaged Zyarth, first time, so I moved them all out of harm's way and reloaded. I've scouts mapping all their sectors now, and there are no hostilities, despite their ships and stations all showing as red.

Yeah, I didn't check the rep when I started, I just saw red and attacked so now my rep is like -25
Thanks for your reply tho, that suggests I just need to watch the gates that connect FRF territory to the rest of the galaxy making it an achievable task!

Assuming the Fires of Defeat start is selected, the starting reputation with ZYA is -21 so they will shoot your military on sight. Seeing how it is meant to be that ZYA is actively trying to annex FRF that is why there are a lot of their ships in the space.

Assuming it is correct.

Code: Select all

<relation faction="split" otherfaction="player" relation="-0.15"/>

  killmilitary: -1.0  to -0.1
  kill:         -1.0  to -0.32

As you are not -0.32 they should not kill your trade and miners. They should only be killing all your military assets.

The other start...

Code: Select all

            <relation faction="split" otherfaction="player" relation="0.01"/>
            <relation faction="antigone" otherfaction="player" relation="-0.032"/>
            <relation faction="argon" otherfaction="player" relation="-0.15"/>

Like wise argon should start off ignoring your non-military assets.
