In a wanted Zone in the system you have to increase the max_battle_size.....I think...

This is taken at random from a system. You should get the gist. DON'T do this for patrol paths though!! Only the population zones around bases/jumpgates/tradelanes/space

[zone
nickname = Zone_Br03_Tradelane_1
pos = -36850, 0, -42055
rotate = 0, -94, 0
shape = BOX
size = 547, 547, 83047
comment = . Tradelane to cardiff
lane_id = br03_1
tradelane_down = 10
sort = 5
toughness = 5
density = 6
repop_time = 15
max_battle_size = 4
pop_type = major_tradelane
relief_time = 15
faction_weight = co_be_grp, 10
faction_weight = co_nws_grp, 10
faction_weight = co_rs_grp, 10
encounter = tradelane_trade_freighter, 5, 0.190000
faction = co_be_grp, 0.500000
faction = co_nws_grp, 0.500000
encounter = tradelane_trade_transport, 5, 0.140000
faction = co_be_grp, 0.330000
faction = co_nws_grp, 0.330000
faction = co_rs_grp, 0.330000


See the density? That is the amount of ships - hike that up (max is about 30 or so before crashes)

Max battlesize? Increase that (about 24 or more for stupid effects). Of course - lots of players in vicinity might cause effects (never tried it) - but to test, you can use the Ew06.ini file (unknown off of omicron gamma). Then find the population zone for the nomads, increase the density to 28 and max battlesize to 24, save it off and jump through to the unknown system off of omicron gamma. You will get your ass served on a plate to you

MUCHOS fun

A thousand thanks. Give that a try now.

CAn also try raising the faction_weight =

that is the line in which how many ships in total can show up from that faction during a single encounter. They may only show 1 by 1 but that is the limit that can show up.
