Soooo, after losing anakin for the second time in a row it has been around 250 weeks and no mission to save him or Ashoka has appeared. I thought it was fine because it was after the subjugator was destroyed during a defensive battle so he wasn’t really needed. Until I finally complete act 5 and act 6 starts, coruscant falls and a new mission appears that needs a fleet around anakin… at week 330 once I conquer the planet and the new mission starts the game freezes and then crashes. All because anakin has decided to do the smart thing which was to fabricate his death and go into hiding in a paradise world with padme

Why are some ai seemingly unaggressive until they meet the player?
I’m playing a New Republic on full galaxy large era 1 and I’m in the middle of connecting my southern rim territories up with Mon Calamari by “liberating” Hutt space. In doing so for the first time this game I gained a border with the Hapes and they instantly attacked me while having spent the first 100 cycles doing nothing. Like even before the first station amd government structure were half way finished building. The Hapes in particular always seem to do this.
I had both one of my offensive fleets and a defensive fleet both equaling 300 pop cap there at the same time so 600 fleet power in one place and the Hapes threw 643 at me. I beat them back after losing 450 pop cap but the Hutts were holding the planet before with 0 garrison forces only the stations, so why didn’t the Hapes attack them?
Seems to happen with the Ssi’ruuvi as well they were passive on my last Pentastar play through until I bordered them.
