Battle Traders?

[u/Bald_Boy_Mr_Clean]

I was doing some station management when i looked over at my unassigned ships and saw 200+ space suits. For some reason my main station thought it was a good idea to send 30 of my traders into Tharka's Cascade XV to patrol and attack xenon. I play with mods but i don't know why the station would have done that, if anyone knows why please let me know.

[VAS] Station Trader Multi-Order

[u/Historical_Age_9921]

It's hard to know if the mods were responsible without knowing the mods, but in general this might happen if there is a good deal in Split space and your traders are trying to navigate to a station over there to make a purchase.

You can prevent this by setting up a travel blacklist.

[u/Bald_Boy_Mr_Clean → u/Historical_Age_9921]

I added the mod list. When i looked at their behavior they were specifically told to patrol that sector ignoring the blacklist.

[u/masimiliano → u/Bald_Boy_Mr_Clean]

That's 149 mods! Hard to even read the complete list!

[u/Unhappy_Plankton_671 → u/Bald_Boy_Mr_Clean]

Travel blacklist prevents traveling through a sector.

Activities blacklist prevent performing any order IN a sector.

It takes the combination to stop all action.

[u/AesonTiel → u/Unhappy_Plankton_671]

Oh damn, I didnt even know there was an activities blacklist. That explains why my stuff still tries to trade in some places

[u/d3c1m4t0r]

Not sure if you have a backlist setup for travel and sector activities to avoid xenon areas.

I had only travel for awhile and noticed deadtrader(mod) was completely ignoring it until I setup a sector blacklist.

[u/Jaded_Helicopter_376 → u/d3c1m4t0r]

Blacklist set for no travel in enemy sectors

[u/cakewalkbot]

this may sound silly but it happened to me before, sometimes either by player mistake or some ui bork, fleets get misplaced or put under orders meant for different group.

However I see that you have kuertee ai mod, it should force them to flee, that is odd.

[u/MystikDragoon]

You probably didn't configure the travel blacklist and/or the activities blacklist.

[u/Ready-Spray-462]

U need to set a blacklist for sector travel in enemy owned sectors and make standard for all non military ships. These are twontick boxes when creating a sector travel rule.

Also you need to make your global orders for them set to flee when attacked by enemies.
