Potential to 'suspend' quest to allow other game work?

[doc (Vanguard Voyager)]

Possible for a menu slider to 'pause' watchtower? Or at least to pause the WT automatic attacks when jumping systems? To allow doing other things inbetween?

Maybe a slider to delay WT start until character level ## or sonething? I got pulled in at level 1 on a fresh character, nearly impossible to move through.

Hard agree on toning down the watchtower attacks. As it stands now, the mod is incredibly overbearing and pretty much forces you to drop everything and laser-focus on it at least until you have a sizable fleet, which is not only frustrating if you were in the middle of something, but also clashes severely with the game's intent of being a free-form sandbox where you can go anywhere and do anything whenever you want.

Hi there - we have listened to feedback regarding this and our next patch update will include a gameplay option that reduces or increases the chances of Watchtower ships attacking you. Additionally, at its lowest setting, only the smaller fleets will appear.

Great! Thanks. Appreciate it.

Perhaps a stealth shield for each of your vessels? That would make a difference, but I could see them putting out space mines with an auto destruct if a vessel gets within a certain distance. Of course two could play that game right?

I just ignore the Watchtower ones when I do other Missions/Quests/Activities. It does not seem like the attack frequency is all that excessive but being able to choose frequency is a good idea. I'd also like to see my ships not attack an enemy I have specifically targeted so I can disable them.

Could use skill level or something else. Wouldn't they be attacking other starborn NPC's? I could see an elite starborn ships and crews fighting

I think it'd be really fun if you could happen upon Watchtower fleets and generic Starborn ships duking it out.

I think it should kick off once you become first level Starborn not before. Why you ask? What is the purpose of the Watchtower to kill of imprison the Starborn, let us take it to the next level with the Watchtower manipulating alternate realities to suit their needs, A war against the Ancients who you became part of after piecing together all the components. A stealth planet full of ancients that the Watchtower has been trying to find and destroy for eons. Every faction had a need and a purpose and desire perhaps this will become Starborn reborn and redirected to repairing or restoring Watchtower damage and infiltration of different realities and originations within that reality. Basically, a quest within a quest. What or where is the origin of the Watchtower who pulls the strings? Perhaps ALIENS!!! your thoughts and feedback on this idea?
