Spawn values for fleet ships

[Darkreaver1980]

Which values/script/files are responsible for the dynamic spawning of fleets? i think the scaling to the player level is way to harsh and i want to change that to make a more believable galaxy and not full of frigates, cruisers, battleships with allmost no varity like it currently is

There are different kinds of NPCs.

Fleets have generally fixed strength, based on world/sector data.
Random patrols are mostly area based.
Only freelance missions ships reallly scale with the player level.

thanks for the answer. When i levled up to lvl 15 i suddendly only encountered cruisers everywhere. There must be somthing that scales to player level

Yeah, being level 44 on Hard - suddenly made virtually every random spawn - into a fight that is almost as hard as Hunt:Warmaster(45+) or the Final Fight. And there is, apparently, even Extreme difficulty.
It's really ridiculous how you may see a faction with 50k> power, maybe a base or two, fleets of 2-5k value that are seen on the map.
Yet when you go through their sectors - on every turn you'll meet a ducking 30-ish ship fleet, consisting of 3 carriers, a dreadnaught, a dozen or so carriers, some battleships and whatever else hits the fan. Of course, beatable, but as a RANDOM FREQUENT SPAWN? That's insane. That's practically like randomly spawning a base assault encounter, and ~30k one. Doesn't make any sense.

Can I mod NPC factions more aggresive to conquer sectors of other factions such as Improved Races 2 or Military Base Response revamp for X3?
It seems to be difficult if spawnning fleets process is fixed for each sectors.

no

Agreed. Hitting level 25+ and suddenly the random patrol fleets all have a dozen dreadnoughts/carriers leading an armada of battleships is probably the biggest drawback to the game, especially for players that like to fly solo.
