Encounter Mechanics in Galaxy 7
The text outlines the mechanics of ship encounters in the Galaxy 7 systems, particularly influenced by the Assassins Guild. Encounters are determined by the number of jumps made and the government type of the system.
Encounters occur every 5 jumps, resetting the jump counter if an encounter happens.
Ships may not always be encountered even if present due to various factors like jumping out or being destroyed.
The type and chance of ships appearing depend on the system's government and tech level.
Government Types and Ship Encounters
Different government types in Galaxy 7 influence the nature of ship encounters, including hostility and ship types.
Anarchy & Feudal: Non-hostile unless attacked; 5% chance for various ships like Mongoose Fighters and Scorpion Frigates.
Multi-Government & Dictatorships: Military ships assist clean ships; similar 5% chances for various military ships.
Communist & Confederacy: Police ships respond to distress; 5% chance for Military Aeron Class Frigates and BattleBots.
Democratic & Corporate States: Similar to Communist systems with a focus on military assistance; 5% chance for Military ships and Special Branch Couriers.
Tech Level Influence on Encounters
The tech level of a system significantly affects the types of ships that can appear during encounters.
Tech Level 10 or higher: Military ships attack Thargoids and criminals but assist clean ships; 5% chance for Navy Control Drones and BattleBot Interceptors.
Cumulative chances increase with higher tech levels, leading to a 90% chance of ship appearances in high-tech systems.
Cumulative Encounter Chances After Jumps
After a series of jumps without encounters, the likelihood of ship appearances increases significantly.
After 10 jumps without an encounter, there is a cumulative 100% chance of a ship appearing, regardless of government type.
Ships from the unlocked ships group have a 10-12% chance of being present, though encounters may still not occur.
