How do I Turn Off thePeacekeepers

Got about level 2 of weapons and shields, playing terrans to start. The Drengin, Krynn, and Yor declare war. Peacekeepers show up 2 turns later and annihilate me. Drengin war fleets cruise right past them unmolested. How do you turn them off in a game, or is all the time spent in it wasted? Thanks.

In game you can't, just have better ships and destroy them. Or try to negotiate peace with the opponents you are at war with.

You could modify the XML file Peacekeepers_MegaEventDefs.xml, change <Turns>150</Turns> to a higher number, like 900.

My personal fave is how the Peacekeepers like to destroy unarmed vessels.

Public executions.

Just like reading the news.

Well, what do you expect from an organization calling themselves "Peacekeepers"? I think we all have seen and read enough sci-fi to know to start running fast when we encounter agencies that favor names like "Ministry of Enlightenment" or "Committee of Public Safety"... :)

It's not just sci-fi. The real world is like that too. Just look at the names of laws or public programs. I believe it was Reagan who said "the most frightening words ever spoken are Hi I'm from the government and I'm here to help".

Yeah, and beware of anyone wanting to work for you that says "Have a blessed day".  In my experience, all have either been con artists or just flaked out and ran off with my money.  Yes, all.
