Hello to all. I'm here since beta 1; didn't play much. Got really involved since beta 3 and now, gamma 1.
I really don't understand how the NPC's interact, on the game. Are they randomly placed or are they, as us, doing missions? Do they get also fined, when the server goes down and they can't complete, they're current mission?
Are they 'living' inside the game; do they take missions from the BB? Do they upgrade they're ships also? If they're somehow random placed when you start the game, well, that's unlogical and kills the immersion. One thing that I really liked on the X games, was that AI players, really existed on the universe doing they're things.
As an example; when I arrive to a system, the solar bodies automatic appear on the radar. The ships just appear after a wile. I've lost almost an hour, following an AI player driving a Lakon (something). I've followed him, inside a system and when he jumped to other systems. My results are inconclusive!
When he arrived to a station and landed. I logged out and logged in fast. Haven't found him anymore. Not in the station, not outside or in the vicinity. He magically disappeared. Was he removed from the game to randomly place, other ships? Did he got out from the station fast, and jumped to other, far away system?
So, are they placed randomly from a database or, really 'playing' too?
Regards.
