Xenon backup

Xenons, the greatest threat to all life forms in the X universe. But something went wrong, where is their supreme power? Or maybe you even exterminated them already? Or is it just rumours and you just lost your last fleet under their steamroll?
This mod tries to give a solution to each of the questions. A new faction has been added to the game. Terraformer drones are the pre-xenon prototypes that have been deactivated and forgotten for a long time. But now the connection has been restored and they are starting to setup their own unique infrastructure.
A cluster with two sectors has been added to the map. One of the sectors is an industrial center and is isolated. The second is connected to each of the xenon core sectors. Once the stations are built, TF drones are ready to go.
TF drones can: stay neutral; supply xenons with resources; assist in xenon's warfare; sabotage xenon's mining operations.
The mod is not designed for direct interaction with the player. Also, don't expect immediate changes. The initial construction of industrial stations will take more than 15 hours. Further production of powerful fleets (military or haulers) takes many hours.
A brief list of what has been implemented:

• New unique infrastructure based on the processing of hydrogen into heavy metals.
  
• TF drones' warehouse and shipyards for the fleet production.
  
• Preparation and dispatch of fleets to xenon sectors (assist mode).
  
• Preparation and dispatch of groups of "xenon infrastructure disruptors" (resist mode).
  
• Liberation of core xenon sectors (only if the sectors are not owned by the player).
  
• Rebuilding and/or reinforcing of xenon shipyards.
  
• Building reinforced defensive xenon stations.
  
• Missile systems for xenon defense stations.
  
• Building shortcuts between core xenon sectors.
  
• Mini-plot to control the behavior of TF drones.

Additionally, a "switch" is available to improve roleplaying.
PS: This is a debug version so expect ~2 MB of logs per hour which are located in the "My Documents\Egosoft\X4\<accountid>\logs\xenbackup".
