I think needs to be changed to have them avoid Fed Space by default.

I've done that on my server, and I see in game A on the Beta server that also needs to happen.

Otherwise they just pile up at SD and don't venture out into open space.

That happens when the universe is gridded out and they have no where else to spawn. The option is there so an op can change the default behavior no reason to make it the default.

No so, look at game A on the beta server. This universe is NOT gridded out.

I've seen that happen on my server, new bangs with the aliens and ferrengi turned on, the aliens don't leave SD or the surrounding sectors unless I go into t-edit and tell them to avoid fed space.

yeah i was having this problem with gold aliens. only me in the game with no space figs or mines and there was about 200 at stardock and surrounding sectors.... always warping in and out and when i tried to block them they just walked over the figs. I posted about this last week. However i didnt mention how many there were around stardock. I already deleted that game anyhow so it doesnt matter to me. Yes Aliens need fixed.

I'm sure there's a bug here. I'll have a look at it soon.

While we're on gold alien topic, if you try to activate a race or ship with the game running, it says cannot press any key to continue. Thats not a problem thats normal. But the only key it accepts is the enter key. not spacebar, or any letter or number. I thought it was froze but then enter worked.
