increased Galcop activity?

[CmdrLUke]

I'm noticing way more GalCop activity (fights with pirates at the witchpoint beacon in particular ) after installing:

GalacticNavy
YourAdHere
BuoyRepair
OoHaul
UPS Courier
Behemoth
imp courier
tiger


Is it GalacticNavy that provides these GalCop/pirate battles, or is it native oolite and I just haven't travelled around enough to see them?

They're really awesome, I just walked in to the end of such a battle, mopped up the two remaining fugitives (and got a "thanks for the help" from the cops [do these "thanks" count for anything?]), and scooped up 2500cr worth of containers! (the 20kg of platinum really helped, priced at 80cr/kg at the station).
