Apoc's spawn limit/bug

[magic9mushroom]

This is in relation to the infamous "why don't the Psimorph in Battleships and the Micronoids in Battleships and Motherships spawn" issue.

 

I have some testing data, but while I can grasp the general shape of it ("aliens are in squads, some aliens can go together in squads while others can't, and there's a maximum of 6 squads and 6 aliens per squad"), the exact details don't make a lot of sense to me.

 

So, I figured I'd post some of the data I have and see if anyone else can make sense of this, because I sure can't.

 

If a line starts off with "+", then whatever's after the + is in addition to the previous line.
