Mad Dark fleet remnants

[BlackViperMWG]

Hi, those Mad Dark fleet remnants are basically militia, but now in 1.1 they are very OP. In three games I played, they managed to destroy all AIs in hour and me after that. And I have Outlaws turned off, so how can I lower their attack and respawn?

I've got the same issue, they turn up really early in the game with loads of strong ships and just snowball on large maps or just grind everyone in the game down in small maps.
I think disabling random events gets rid of them (since it does for the base game).

It does.  They've also been weakened in the 1.1.1 patch according to Corey (I keep forgetting to turn them back on).
