So in theory if the number got reduced to vanilla 9, the minor nations will start to use redeploy again?
If yes could you please tell me where to edit the number?

you can read about the patch here
viewtopic.php?p=43262#p43262

but as post warns;
There are some caveats to using this patch:
:!: It breaks compatibility with existing SAV files! You can't load up your old savegames, nor can new savegames be loaded up with an unpatched version.
:!: All participants in a multiplayer game must patch the game with the same ships per taskforce limit (e.g. all players with 18 ships).
:!: As a workaround for an instability in the patch, the AI has been prevented for forming taskforces (i.e. the AI has only 1 ship per taskforce).

Other notes:
:arrow: Because of the complexity of this patch, it does conflict with other patches such as the Instant Terraforming bugfix and the Ship Scrapping exploit fix. Therefore the taskforce patchtool will check for these patches, and automatically adjust them. So if you want those patches, install them first, then the taskforces patch!

:arrow: Finally, if you are modder, make a backup of your trek.exe. The patch has no uninstall option right now.
so I also warn against removing patch unless you understand other changes that maybe needed since mod does use Instant Terraforming bugfix and the Ship Scrapping exploit fix.

I did try the patch and changed the number back to 9, its very stable but unfortunately there is no change for the minor factions, they still dont use redeploy, so something else is here an issue.

I do not know if using the patch to set to "9" will remove patch.
The patch has no uninstall option right now
