Trigger to faction quests?

[Jar B]

I was wondering what triggers the renewal of faction quests. Like ZYA vs Argon. I went through about a handful until they stopped being offered. For about a week of occasional gameplay until yesterday a new mission set was offered. What changed?

Somewhat related, how can I make ZYA hop over Heretic's End and invade Morning Star? I want them to occupy both Morning Star and Silent Witness w/o scrubbing Hatikvah's Faith. HE is hands-off anyways for NPC factions.

War guild mission are only offered near the corresponding borders, so for ZYA vs. ARG visit sectors where they have a common border.

Heretic's End is locked for NPC factions until the player claims it. So first claim Heretic's End, then release that claim. Now ARG, BOR and ZYA are free to move in.

AFAIK, missions stop appearing if you stay in the same sector for long.

AFIAIK factions only expand to adjacent sectors and do not hop. In case of Heretic's End, this sector is special. You can claim it, then release it (deconstruct admin module), and then factions will start expanding into it.

However, ZYA will be probably slaughtered by borons.

Well that's odd. I've been hopping all over the galaxy, even stopped by the faction representative to see if that changes things. But no. Message got stuck in the world thread... Hm now that I think of it, these guild quests did come back when ARG tried to rebuild their defence station in Morning Star. Hm hm interesting.

As for "my" expansion plans, all I need to do is jump HQ out of HE to make ZYA claim HE and Morning Star? Okay that's not too hard. Borons are not a problem. I haven't started that questline, yet. Also ZYA is pretty strong in my seed. Even keep Xenon at bay. No holding hands necessary.
