Does anybody know what the average life cycle of an NPC is?

I mean, they get created, they fly around doing their thing, but if I'm the only human present, and I log off, do they persist or do they go back to the NPC waiting room in the sky?

A couple of times I've encountered the same NPC in the same approximate place in different sessions. I thought it was coincidence but I suppose it makes sense that if they don't get killed they may well still be in the area.

There is no life cycle. Hence people shouting for persistent NPCs. They are created and managed by your client, and unless there is a need for them to follow you, they vanish when you leave the instance.

I've seen Paul Kossoff uring teh last week and also Steve Rawlings but he probably doesn't mean anything to anyone apart from dodgy old Goths like me. ;)

Also saw this guy too

"Clean"? I think not!

I've run into family members. Did not end well for them... >__>

Otherwise, I've seen a few interesting names, but nothing famous I don't think.

There are a few that had names of co-workers, otherwise I've killed Hawkeye twice, someone named "Ignorant", someone named "Addicted" and "PCCHEATERS".

Yeah I had to bring a long lost family member (who i had never previously heard of) to Justice

I have wondered with some of the names that come up, particularly ones that are family or of friends as well as celebrities and Fictional characters if FDEV have some means of scanning your FB page or other social media to find names that have a connection or meaning to each individual commander.....

As far as I know, a good portion of names were "rewards" for certain levels of kickstarter backing. And I'm sure many of the Dev teams added their own input.

My favourite one was from a while ago when I despatched that notorious pirate 'Mrs Trellis of North Wales

More recently I bumped into Isaac Newton flying an Orca. Other famous real or fictional characters I've seen. Icarus, Spartacus, Topcat, Macbeth, Grommitt (I haven't seen Wallsce yet), Roger Leclerc ( the forger from Allo, Allo), Kirk, Iain Norman (forum mod so maybe not famous outside these forums), Elvis, Twilight Sparkles and Michael Gove. In the 1.5 beta I've seen Dawn French and Mic Turner (famous ship designer from earlier Elite games)


Funny ones include Egg Whisk, Mint Sauce, Burns Toast, Copper Hamster, Naughty-Madbad, Dr Thadius Strangepants, King Bumpy Tim the third and Evil Overlord Zmurf.

Always forget to take a screenshot,

I saw Baldrick.

But the best one so far was Wonda Bra. What surprised me is she had no support (wings). :D

I saw Jimi Hendrix the other day:



He was harmless in his Adder.

And even Elvis, while we are in the music hall of fame:

He was deadly in his T-9...

Elvis may have left the building buts he's toddling around the galaxy:)

I'm waiting to see John Wayne...get off your FAS and drink your milk:)
