Increasing Threat

Description
This mod aims to increase the impact of pirate attacks over time. As you repel pirate attacks you will gradually accumulate Hatred, a stat specific to the local pirate faction, and Notoriety, a global stat that affects all pirates. As your Hatred and Notoriety increase, pirates will send stronger and stronger attacks into the sectors that you are currently in. If the pirates hate you enough, or if you are notorious enough, you may trigger a special type of attack along with the standard wave of enemies.

This uses a number of ships from Extra Ship Classes Core.

===
Known issues:

This mod might break anything that directly modifies the Pirate Attack event. For example, it may not work with mods like: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2160430864

This mod will likely override any changes to the Fake Distress Signal event made by other mods.

Thanks to Cy for some great ideas! Thanks to Ren Atlas, Blackwool, Рысь, XxKheldorxX, and knightoout for the boss designs!

Slower incline of the Severness of the Pirate attacks would be a good thing for a Lite version.
Not sure if possible, but it would be cool if they only attack the Players ships.

Reason is:
i settled outside the Barrier in a NPC Faction. Despite me being quite ok geared ( i limit myself at Tech 37 and only use Xanion tho) they overran the sector. I managed to survive it, but Most NPC Stations got wiped.

also, with the stronger waves i have no mean to prevent them killing Cargo ships from AI in time. Wich means 180 Minutes = Dead Sector.


I tried a couple of times to bribe them, but got the message "We dont offer that Service at the Moment" or something like that.


I would like to make clear, that i really like the mod as it is and its probably very good balanced for people who do not shoot themselves in their feet :D

What would you want to change in a lite version?

I really like the idea of that mod and it would be a blast in a regular Playthrough.
Sadly for my approach (handicapping myself for longer Playtime) its too hard.

Is there a way to adjust some screws in the file myself? Or would you consider doing an additional "lite" version?

Either Way, thanks for the work with this and other mods of yours.

Both.

Do the pirates attack all of my ships, or my player ship specifically?

Wait, this is a way for me to get more pirate ships. Oh, this is perfect, thanks for making the mod.

Cool thanks for the info

Yeah there's three ways.

1 - it will decrease slowly over time
2 - IIRC destroying pirate shipyards / clearing pirate sectors will lower it
3 - you can bribe some pirates.

is there a way to decrease threat somehow?

... yes?
