Random Defence Force - reduce the ammount of RDF ships?
« on: November 09, 2008, 10:13:19 PM »
Just wondering if anyone could help me solve this problem

i like the idea of the Ramdom Defence Force included in Galaxy Charts 1.0 but every time i warp to an enemy sector, about a million ships warp in to attack me!!!

if i then warp to a friendly sector, about a million friendly ships show up!!

is there some way to reduce the ammount of RDF ships to something like 5 or 10?

Please share your findings.
I still can't read peoples minds, nor can I read peoples computers, even worse, I can't combine the two to read what is going wrong with your BC install...

ok,
well playing around with the settings wasn't working at first, but reading further into the "Full ReadME" showed that disabling the "Use Default Defence of a Set" button would reduce the large number of ships comming to the map.

now i can manually adjust it directly to be in a range from 1 to 10 ships in each wave

i don't think any computer could handle the number that was warping in origionally, there must have been 50 to 60 friendly reinforcments comming to my aid thats TOO MANY!  :D

thanks for the help people  8)
