Option to build defence stations at gates cripples economy #16

Open AndrzejLechrenski opened 4 months ago

AndrzejLechrenski commented 4 months ago

I have noticed that when the option to build defence stations near gates is enabled, factions have a very high probability of attempting to build stations at the far gates on the other end of the sectors they are trying to invade. Particularly stark examples are Getsu Fune (Xenon usually try to immediately build at the gate to the Asteroid Belt) and Matrix #451 (where the Teladi do something similar).

This isn't the worst thing in the world for the commonwealth factions, which might just lose a few builders, but it can be absolutely crippling to the Xenon who need those S/SE ships to keep their economy going.

I will look into it but I don't actually alter the invasion logic for selecting position of a defense station. The logic script that I alter is hold_space which is when the faction already owns the sector or has already started contesting/claiming it.
