I would like to make the space of freelancer alot busier, (More Police Patrols, Trade Convoys, etc)

How would this be done?

Thanks

EDIT: I Might add, i don’t want new paths, just more of the above on the original paths.

Increase the density setting for the encounters is a quickfire method. If density =5 then raise it to 10 or similar

[GIJoelie]

Where do I find that segment of code?

EDIT: Oh nevermend, I was trolling through my Freelancer folder, It’s under Freelancer/DATA/MISSIONS/ENCOUNTERS, a .ini file for each group. Just thought I’d mention that for anyone having the same trouble.

Thanks a bunch Gibbon

EDIT: Uh, Where do I find the desity? Its not permutation by any chance?

In the zone deceleration of the tradelane/zone itself
in the system .ini’s

So if I wanted to increase activity outside Manhattan, I would edit…

Freelancer\DATA\UNIVERSE\SYSTEMS\LI01\Li01.ini

[zone]
nickname = Zone_Li01_001_Planet_Li01_01
pos = -33020, 0, -27925
rotate = 0, 104, 0
shape = SPHERE
size = 7000
comment = Manhattan
sort = 1
toughness = 1
density = 12 <=====<
repop_time = 10
max_battle_size = 8
……
…
…

Edit the line with the? <=====<

I hope my color coding makes sense of this

that’ll help… mixed with a larger # in the encounter .ini’s as well…
also… i think… density is the “overall” NPC group cap… how many wings at once (could be wrong…) in the zone

max_battle_size is the key to getting wings of 12 ect… mixed with more codelines in your formations so they know were to spawn at… if a formation only has 4 lines… only 4 ships will spawn even though the max is higher in the zone… encounter files also need to be altered to reflect…

pretty simple once you’ve done it 1nce & succeeded…

that particular setting will only spawn max 8 in a group but up to 12 groups… at level 1… repopulated at 10 second intervals

Thanks for the help! haha i changed the density outside of manhattan to 800, im suprised my game didn’t crash, it looked quiet cool, but there were transports bouncing off each other all the time. ahaha. Thanks again!

I’ve done this, I find a good balance is usually to have the density for tradelanes and jumpgates/holes to be around 20, with the max battle size being 10, and around planets and bases 32 for density, and 16 for max battle size.

The feeling is absolutely awesome.
