I'm looking to do a playthrough as a trader, enjoy some role playing in this sandbox galaxy. What that means is a lightly armed ship built for cargo of course. I'm looking for a mod that would allow me to use a distress signal to call in ships for assistance. Of course pirates being who they are would also be attracted to this so a chance for both, or one to spawn would be cool. Is there a way to increase the chances of pirates spawning in a sector I'm in? Like they're chasing me down? And increase the rate at which pirate spawns contain a hyperspace blocker. I'm at work right now but that's all I can think of for now. Thanks!

Not sure if its just me or not, but my turrets seem to not auto research. And if i click the legendary box? it will remove the legendary turrets and not yield anything. Not sure what i expect to get but is there a reason for that? edit: i guess legendaries combined will yield a different legendary, had to run some tests. But im still having trouble getting lower grade turrets to research.
