- SectorName
Please name it. It is for display on the screen.
- StarSystem OwnerType
We narrow down based on the owner of the star system.

If you select a "Specific Faction" for the "StarSystem OwnerType", set the faction ID.
- StarSystem Type
We narrow down based on the type of the star system.
- Sector Type
We narrow down based on the type of the sector.
- Sector Entity
We narrow down by symbolic entity that exist in the sector. There can only be one symbolic entity. If more than one exists, those with lower priority are ignored. The priority is shop the highest, asteroid the lowest. - Sector Location
Narrow down by the coordinates of the sector.
"AbsoluteCoordinate" is specific fixed area.
"DistanceFromSystemCenter" is applied to all starsystems respectively. - Sector Location RangeBegin/End
Specify the coordinates of the start point and the end point of the fixed area. - Sector Location FromSystemCenter
If 1 is specified, the center 2 x 2 x 2 range applies.
If 4 is specified, the center 8 x 8 x 8 range applies.
If 8 is specified, the entire star system applies. - Neighborhood Entity Type
The "Neighbarhood Entity" is checks whether there are entities that match the condition in 27 sectors around the player (=loaded sector).
You can determine if player are in battle or you can change the sector type if a enemy recon ship is present. - Neighborhood Entity FactionID

Approximate time it takes for the spawn counter to reach the threshold. - Sector Entering Bonus
When entering the sector, add the bonus value to the spawn counter.
If you move to another type sector, the bonus value will be lost. - Entering Bonus Incidence
The probability that a bonus will occur. - Entering Bonus Value
The remaining time to the spawn decreases by the specified percentage. It is randomly chosen from max to min. - Entering Bonus Interval
If a spawn occurs with a bonus granted, it will take time until the next bonus is granted.
>>> Spawn Group Settings
Set what kind of ship will spawn in each sector type.
Ships spawn in group units, and which group is chosen is randomly determined based on the weight value.
You can compare the total blocks of the player ship and the in-group ships and exclude from the spawn according to the ratio. This allows you to change the ship to be spawned according to the size of the ship of the player.

- Select Editing Sector
Select the sector type you want to edit.
- Use Alias
If you want to use a spawn group that is set to another sector type, select that sector type. - Faction ID
Faction id to assign to the ship.
- Spawn Weight
The probability of being selected is determined according to the magnitude of the weight value of each spawn group.
slelection rate = weight of this group / total weight of all groups
- Max Squad Scale Multiplier
If the player's ship is large, Spawn is repeatedly performed with this value as the upper limit.
(The spawn will be discontinued even if the total number of blocks of the spawned ship extends to the number of blocks of the player's ship) - Upper/Lower Limit of Block Ratio
Depending on the size of the player's ship, it is a function to narrow down the spawn group.
The number of blocks of ships registered in the spawn group is compared with the number of blocks of the player's ship, and if the ratio exceeds the set value, it is excluded from the spawn candidate.
- Blueprints
It is a list of blueprints registered in the game. By selecting from the list and pressing the "<<<" button, you can add the ship to the spawn group. To increase the number of ships, please press it multiple times. To decrease the number of ships, press the ">>>" button.
>>> General Settings

- Squad Scaling Limitter / Upper Limit Block Ratio
The number of ships to spawn is automatically adjusted. It is until one of the following conditions is reached.
- Reached the "Max Squad Scale Multiplier".
- Reached the "Squad Scaling Limitter".
Here we set the latter.
First multiply the total number of blocks of the player's ship by "Upper Limit of Block Ratio". And if the total number of blocks of the spawned ship exceeds it, the spawn is aborted.
(However, the set ratio is not used as it is. To increase the diversity of the game, the value is randomly increased or decreased) - Group Selecting Limitter
When the "Upper/Lower Limit of Block Ratio" is set as the default in the "Spawn Group Settings", the value set here will be applied.
- Spawn Count Threshold
The threshold of the spawn counter is randomly determined, but its upper and lower limits and median can be set.
Changing this value will affect the spawn interval for all sector types.
- Spawned Ship / Lifetime
The upper limit of the activity time of the spawned ship.
