Can i disable drop pod raids for my new faction?

Can i disable the use of drop pods with my new faction since they raid you in large numbers since they use firearms and guns but don't have the tech or support to make use of drop pod assaults. It would kind of be unfair if they use drop pods an then there's a large numbers of raiders inside your colony.

Is there anyway i can disable or make them prefer arriving at the edge of the map instead?

by xml you can disable drop pods by dropping the tech level of the faction
however that would also disable sieges and very likely all of the vanilla guns as well since they share the same tech level
(but if you have custom weaponry for them that might be ideal way of doing it)

Oh well...

Kinda sucks... I guess i have to balance things out then without them making the too OP. I was making a bandit faction who are similar to pirates but have weaker tech but do have access to outlander & gunpowder tech but don't have access to power/marine armor only plate armor along with shotguns & pistols & some wielding assault rifles & submachine guns since I'm basing them on the outlaws & banditry from the wild west.

I guess i have to lower their numbers then.
