AMUMSS is well documented and easy to use, but I know with compiling software there can be lots of unexpected errors and as non-techsavvy person I was lucky I didn't encounter any. I still encourage everyone to try it on their own until mod author uploads a .pak since files uploaded to nexus go through some checking unlike files posted in comment section by random user such as myself.
But anyway, here's the .pak: https://www.mediafire.com/file/30itcd8alvpaguc/FleetExpTimes+default.pak/file
I think that was from the default .lua before tweaking. It worked but increasing amount of events also increases expedition length greatly. Fortunately mod author wrote good instructions in the .lua file so I could edit it to make the expeditions *significantly* shorter, and here is the edited version: https://www.mediafire.com/file/z1yp3rqksvzse95/FleetExpTimes+way+faster.pak/file
I started using this mod (slightly tweaked) after you first uploaded it, and a week ago I actually started a new playthrough with the mod installed.
This is FANTASTIC on a new playthrough. When you first get your frigate fleets up and running, with this mod installed, some of the expeditions are actually difficult enough that you can't do them. It actually gives you a reason to do derelict freighters to get the tech upgrades that boost frigate capability (not to mention speed), something sorely lacking in the game normally.
I never thought that increasing expedition length would increase expedition difficulty, but for some reason, it does, ever-so-slightly. I see 4-star expeditions now, and I never saw those before.
