Fixed inactive factions potentially getting respawned

• Fixed freeze after making a certain choice in a Terran expansion story mission
  
• Improved faction invasion behavior to wait a little before creating the defence station plot so forces have time to engage
  
• Improved force distribution for invasions between target areas
  
• Improved defence response when a station is under attack and the victim has low ship availability

• Ships with 'protect position' orders will now consider responding to direct attacks while en route
  
• Fixed Terran long distance attacks not being given enough time to engage

• Capital ships with attack orders that are completely disarmed and have no fighter cover will attempt to retreat for repairs
  
• Fixed faction respawn not working if the mod is added after the faction has already been eliminated

• Added a redesigned scouting behavior that actually scouts and reports results to the faction AI
  
  • Scouts will flee from all enemies
    
  • After taking fire, they will try to report incomplete results; destroy scouts quickly to reduce enemy intel
    
  • This behavior is also available to the player (as the Recon default order)
    
  • After each cycle reports will be sent to the logbook (filter for 'recon')
    
  • This is not a replacement for Explore - only known POIs or thoroughfares will be checked
    
  • Can be used to level pilots, but most XP gain is linked to finding enemies so scout hostile areas for better results
• NPC scouts may drop satellites near enemy formations
  
• AI is more likely to target enemy satellites
  
• AI factions take into account nearby station strength when attacking (if they have intel)
  
• Improved S/M ship subsystem target selection when attacking capital ships or stations while the player is present (depending on skill)
  
• Fixed S/M ships not targeting a subsystem at all for the first attack run
  
• Capital ships no longer deal main cannon damage to multiple targets at once in low attention if there are multiple ships in the front quadrant
  
• Improved AI allocation of ships for defence
  
• AI will now leave some ships patrolling for distress response instead of redirecting them all to invasion-related attack or defence
  
• When a station comes under attack, invasion defenders that were allocated to defend a different area may now be redirected if they are not under threat
  
• Reduced force allocation to sectors that have been orphaned since the ships will probably not survive to reach the defence point
  
• Factions planning an invasion will attempt to consider allied forces in the area, including player ships if the player is also hostile to the enemy faction
  
• The free agent Xenon I will now consistently be deployed offensively after a certain amount of game time has passed
  
• (Split Vendetta) Added guaranteed Xenon I formations to the shipyard sectors of the DLC
  
• (Split Vendetta) Fixed a vanilla bug that caused a FRF trading station that could flip factions due to the story to be broken/nonfunctional after doing so (retroactive)
