====== NPCs ====== ---- ===== What are they ? ===== ---- NPCs are Non-Player Characters that are controlled by the game's AI (Artificial Intelligence). You can find them in the galaxy view, in every solar system. {{ :pnj.jpg|}} ---- ---- ===== Can I attack them ? ===== ---- **YES**, that's why they're here, but beware, they won't make it easy for you, be sure to spy them before attacking. ---- ===== I can't find them, why ? ===== ---- Well, that's normal. NPCs aren't stationnary, they will not stay at the same place all the time and they can even disappear for a certain amount of time. Pay attention ! ---- ===== Can I attack them with a friend (grouped attack) ? ===== ---- **NO**, do not forget to check the changelog : MOD : Grouped attacks are not possible anymore on NPCs ---- ===== How are their resources calculated ? ===== ---- Their resources represent 5 to 10% of the amount needed to build their fleet. Some NPCs are, then, more profitable than others. ---- ===== When I'll be well developed, will they become obsolete ? ===== ---- **NO**, NPCs will always adapt to your strikeforce, becoming more or less stronger. It's up to you to find the good composition ! ---- ===== Can their defenses be destroyed by missiles ? ===== ---- **NO**, you can only attack a NPC with spaceships!...do not forget to recycle afterwards ! ===== I attacked, but they are gone, is it normal ? ===== ---- {{ :pnj_vide.jpg |}} **YES** it can happen, the getaway rate is around 1%. Like a normal player, it can ghost its fleet, which can make you look some nitrogen...that's the risk ! ---- ===== How many times can I attack a NPC ? ===== ---- The following rule applies : **5 + "standings place" (max= 100) attacks per day on NPCs ; (Eg: top 1: 6 attacks, top 50: 55 attacks, top 150 : 100 attacks)** ---- ===== Does a NPC have a commander ? ===== ---- **NO**, its fleet, resources and defenses will not be protected or guided by any commmander. ===== I forgot to recycle the debris field, can it disappear with the NPC ? ===== ---- **YES**, like said before, NPCs arent's stationary, hence, when they disappear, ecerything disappears with them. ===== Can a NPC create a moon after a combat ? ===== ---- **NO**, which guarantees you more resources (a part of the resources not being taken to form a moon). ===== How is the NPCs fleet determined ? ===== ---- Their fleet is randomly composed on the basis of a player's fleet, from the top 100 (active or inactive). ===== Does a NPC have technologies ? ===== ---- A NPC wil have the exact same level of technologies than yours : shield, weapons, armour, laser, ion, plasma, graviton. A NPC will also have your hero bonuses : attack boost, shield boost, armour boost, speed boost and vigilance boost. Do not forget to put those when you simulate the battle. ===== How is the debris field composed ? ===== ---- The debris field represents 22% of the destroyed fleets and 1.66% of the destroyd defense.
