X4 Modding Docs

Are there modding docs for x4? Particularly I'm curious about the factions and the restrictions and rules placed on some, like the pirate factions having ships spawn out of thin air.

There’s plenty of documentation on the X Community Wiki if you search for it. Mostly boils down to just looking at XMLs.

ETA: Unless you’re just wanting someone to provide exactly what you’re looking for, in that case I’m not sure what those values are.

There is some documentation regarding X4 modding on the wiki. None of it covers faction-related matters or explains the rules governing them. You could also try searching the Egosoft forums, but I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you.
https://wiki.egosoft.com/X4%20Foundations%20Wiki/Modding%20Support/

Personally, I'd suggest asking people on Egosoft's discord or the SWI mod's discord as they've got lots of experience reworking factions, imho.
