Description

..: Sector Patrol :..

This mod adds a new default job option for your pilots to monitor sector activity and jump on nearest threats.

You need to set home sector in case pilot chases after an escaping enemy it knows where to return.

Option to toggle attacking different class of ships (XL/L/M/S).

Option to toggle for searching and revealing concealed ship. Log entry added for each successful reveal.

Option to toggle pursue on/off. When it is ON, your ship will attempt to follow the escaping ships through the galaxy.

Option to toggle parking around the sector core in case there is nothing else to do.

Option to toggle afterburner (boost) while approaching targets to keep the shield levels high before combat.

Option to shoot to disable (trying to keep enemy hull above 20%) in hope they would bail.

There will be more enhancements implemented in near future; like rewards by friendly factions, raising alerts on detecting invading fleets etc. I found the vanilla 'Patrol' order very simple and way too slow to react on threat.

Enjoy.

Version 7.x compatible.

*** Once the mod is considered 'feature ready' it will be also copied to nexusmods ***

Changes:
1.00 - initial public release
1.01 - added option to identify and hunt down plunderers and pirates.
1.02 - added option to turn on/off pursue. Default is OFF.
1.03 - fixed commandaction.attarckingto indication mistake. Thanks Vampirrou!
1.04 - added option to select ship class targets (XL/L/M/S), added option to park around sector core location in case there is nothing else to do, added option to avoid boosting while travelling to target (to save shield energy).
1.05 - added option to 'shoot to disable' at 20% threshold value for now. Not sure how that is working, so far in my testing i haven't seen anything to bail. This is using the vanilla attack script's disable feature. Also enabled squad attack flag, so subordinates will help their commander.
1.06 - adjusted approach timer
1.07 - added option to attack enemy stations
1.08 - compatibility fix for 4.10.
1.09 - compatibility fix for 5.0
1.10 - fixed awaiting orders bug. Thanks thelich for providing the fix!
1.11 - fixed bug with 7.0 where script would abort after each fight.

Thats disappointing. I was looking forward for a mod that helps me keeps the pirates in check.

Ryzer 20 Jan @ 9:15am

@akry they are similar, but they have problems, don't use them, they start attacking everyone, pure chaos. You also have Protect Sector, but it seems to fail sometimes.

Whats the difference between this and reation force? Are they doing the same thing? Should I use both or choose one?

Ryzer 25 Nov, 2024 @ 2:15am

This and Reaction Force are mandatory mods, but they have the same problem, over time they start to attack everyone, they need to be reviewed, they are wonderful mods.

Should the mimic order works with this mod ?
The ships I set on mimic order with the leader on this behavior all show the red arrows icon and won't do anything
