Description
Mercenaries (MERC) are a hostile space and lunar NPC faction, usually operating in the vicinity of the MERC-Helios-Waystation. They really don't appreciate any would-be trespassers and will prioritise players as targets. Mercenaries detect targets that are broadcasting or moving at significant speed.

It features 16 ships and 1 space station with the station and large grid ships having Jump Drive inhibitors to attempt to prevent their targets from escaping.

Destroying the Jump Drive inhibitor block will allow jump drives to work as normal.
Disabling the purple remote control block on the grid (typically on/near the ship bridge) will disable the grinder zapper technology , all doors on large grid ships can be opened by the player so boarding actions are still possible.

All spawns use threat score so players don't get battered right out of the gate.

Thanks to left whale for all the designs used in this mod.
Thanks to Meridus IX/Lucas for creating MES and Rival AI.
This is the 3rd rework of a faction from NPC Expanded Universe Encounters.

Don't republish this mod (unlisted for a server/personal use is fine) as I don't want the hassle of issuing a DMCA but I will if necessary.

For those ships which are original, any chance of releasing them as individual blueprints? I'm always looking for cool new designs.

Anybody know if this is working?

Players are reporting ships like MERC.Warhorse-Gunship getting stuck in place, and despawning when players interact with them. anyone else getting anything like this? thanks.

i know the comment is a year old, but things like jump drive inhibitors can be disabled in the MES settings files.

Inhibitor free version available? not all of us like that 'feature' in our private games

So I constantly have these ships spawning in my game in space but they never move. They just sit there and don't do anything unless provoked. Is this normal? Don't they have a path to follow like every other spawn?

How do I get this mod to absolutely annihilate me, I don't care about scaling, I want huge ship battles
