Question for new SS Conq Playtrough

[CptSeb]

Greeting fellow Wastelanders !

I recently started a new F4 playtrough to try out Horizon and Conquerror (and any compatible mods i could find) and i have a few question about Conqueror and its system that i want adressed before i screw something up

I'm sorry if i some of my quesiton seem to have rather obvious answers that are adressed in the Raider Questline which is supposed to act as a Tutorial. I want to play as a Liberator Faction and therefor refuse to join some Gang of nihilistic Edgelords

but now for my Questions

1) how does the Vassal Outpost Mechnic impact Supply Routes ?
i prefer to use the Supply Station mod for SS to create a neat and tide supply network and would like to know if these Routes are being overwritten or otherwise impacted when i set up Vassals for my Outpost, so i can plan and correct accordingly, before my OCD drives me insane everytime i look at my map

2) Outpost to Vassal Ratio and Setup
Are there any general rules how many Vassal a Outpost should have ? How many Outpost would you recommend to create in total ?
My current overall Plan would result in 4 Outposts

Starlight
Castle
Egret Tours Marina
County Crossing

and then i would assign all other Settlements to the closest Outpost as Vassal altough i am still pondering if i should make the Red Rocket Truck Stop an Outpost too. I want to use it as my Personal Fortress/Mansion and having Soldiers as kind of "Honorguard" would be cool but would it be bad if i have 2 Outposts so close together ?

3) Is it possible to convert Vassals and Outposts back into normal Settlements ?

I would also welcome any further Advice and Suggestions you have fr a relative Newbie to Conqueror (but not to SS, i'm fine on that front )

Thanks in Advance for your Answers !

1. Conqueror adds it's own supply routes automatically. You can use IDEK if you like but it's not necessary.

2. There's no set ratio, you just have to keep the HUD meters full. You can have as many outposts close together as you like as long as some of them are within range of vassals to keep your crew fed.

3. Yes there's an option to do this in the war planners desk.
