Summary0014041: Combat: Emergency Response Hangars spawn ships even if the player is not in range?
DescriptionIn my very first deliver spacefaring tech mission all ERH started spitting out ships as soon as I entered the map even though I did not enter their detection circle *and* did not shoot them.

Is this intended?

The mission I just had was definitely a bit overboard in terms of challenge with regard to new player experience = /... and this was mostly due to the insane amount of ships that spawned. It just took ages to get rid of them...

it happened to me too, in 0.990. Definitely facing the spawn of 5 emergency response hangar (yes, all of them spawned ships!!!) at once is not a nice experience for a new player

edit: just to better explain how important it is, I was without abilities (because tutorial kept them locked) and fighting at least 85 cutters, 41 monitors, 24 predators and 9 claymores. 2 races already spacefaring (fist one + another one)
I just accepted a quest about terraforming a planet at game start, but still it seems too hard.
Simply making emergency response hangars spawn ship only if alerted (and maybe reducing its range) would help.

I ran into this again yesterday using 1.002 and I think this may *really* tank first impressions for first-timers.

Thus bumped it to major (Hi Chris = )!).
