What are Orks?

The Orks in this mod are heavily inspired by the Orks from the Warhammer 40K series. They are an aggressive, warlike race of aliens that are constantly seeking the next fight or battle.

Orks detect their targets based on active HUD signals (eg: Antenna or Beacon). At closer ranges, they can also detect grid movement. If you begin battle with an Ork and inflict enough damage, it may try to retreat. If an Ork can successfully retreat, then it will designate your immediate area (15km radius) as a "Known Player Location" which allows other Ork encounters to pick up targets within the area immediately - regardless of Broadcasting or Movement. You will need to leave the area for a minimum of 30 minutes before the Orks will no longer consider the area as a Known Player Location. Alternatively, if you destroy an Ork station or boss within one of these areas, this will also remove the Known Player Location.


Types of Encounters

In all cases, Orks will only begin spawning after you've built up your own grids and resources to a certain point (ie: once you've reached a high enough Threat Score Level).
At lower threat scores, Orks have a 10% chance of spawning with Randomized Weapons and a 10% chance of spawning with Defense Shields (if that mod is included). At higher threat score levels, Orks will consistently spawn with Randomized Weapons and Shields. Keep this in mind when amassing your resources.

Orks are more common in outer space, and may spawn more frequently while outside a planet's natural gravity. They can also spawn on planets as well, although these encounters are a bit more rare. Ork installations can also spawn on planets as well.


Special Thanks

Huge thanks to Fade Sevar for putting together the various grids used for these encounters!


Restrictions Regarding Republishing This Mod

As of the mod version updated on 04/11/2021, I will ask that you not republish this mod. I have no issue with anyone studying and using the RivalAI behavior components for use in their own encounter mods - as long as SubtypeIds are changed. If you have suggestions for changes/features, please let me know in the comments.

Does the Flyboss Carrier not try to kill enemies it detects? I've been driving after it in a tank for a good few minutes now, antenna at 6km and staying practically right under it, and it hasn't tried to kill me. I want to test this tank but it won't oblige.

Working Great for me, In fact a little too well..
I apparently placed a station in a section of space they claimed was theirs... the result...
My station is constantly surrounded by a swarm of 6-12 smaller ships just outside of my shields
AND lately one actually powerful ship with strong shields and weaponry, that for some reasons triggers explosions on my base and kills my character frequently despite the station being shielded heavily enough to stay at 100% shields under it's full barrage.

Anyone know a way to block the ork's randomizer from spawning certain weapons... like non-wc weapons and perhaps tyranid bits
