 |
|
So a lot of people are complaining about spawning chance. Here is what I concluded from the source code.
| Code: | if ( ($planet_factionwar == "Y") OR ($planet_PvP_train == "Y") OR ($planet_territories == "Y") OR ($planet_escort=="Y") ) {
//Check New Quads for Bandits
if ($planet_factionwar == "Y") {$bchance = 5;}
elseif ($planet_territories=="Y") {$bchance = 12 - (floor($banCount[$planetid]/30));}
elseif ($planet_noSha=="Y") {$bchance = 8;}
elseif ($planet_escort=="Y") {$bchance = 8;}
else {$bchance = 18;}
foreach ($newquadrants as $new_quad) { if ((rand(1,30))<=$bchance) {
.
.
.
.
.
if ($planet_relics == "Y") { $bChance = 75; } else { $bChance = 85; }
if ($planet_arena=="Y" AND $pOpt['allowBand']=="Y") { $bchance = $pOpt['spawnrateA']; }
//Check for bandits in new quadrants
if(rand(1,100) <= $bChance){ |
So that basically means (i think):
Faction war planets = 5/30 = 16.67%
Dominus = 40% - 3.33% * round down of # of bandits over 30
Zedus or Rynn = 26.67% (though it feels a lot less)
Tariona = 60%
Konu = 75%
Anything else = 85%
Ok... so here's the idea... some scounts (not all of them) receive a relative bonus to that percentage. Example ghog gets 50% extra chance of spawning bandits => multiply the above percentage by 1.5.
Also don't you hate when you spawn units when you don't want to? maybe give some units a negative effect on spawning chance?
Units with natural cloaking abilities have a 50% less chance of spawning bandits when not cloaked. So divide the above percentages by 2.
All cloaked units do not spawn bandits (set all of above to zero).
In case multiple units enter a new quadrant, one with the highest spawning chance takes effect.
Coding wise this is easy to implement, do you guys want to see this happen? could end the 'scout monopoly' of LEs as well as introduce some X vars for scout units that increase spawning chance. |

I like the positive effects. As for the negative effects Via Cloaking, I don't think so. Just because they don't see it doesn't mean they aren't there. It should keep the original spawn rate..
Idea
+ Spawn rate for following
Scouts
Utility Vehicles (Salvagers, Miners, Etc because they're Nom-able, but they could be -Spawn rate too because "technology emits an anti-tracking-bandit signal so they don't deploy on your face as much!" )
- Spawn Rate for following
Any Unit with a starting CE of 1,200 or higher (Bandits aren't THAT stupid... Are they?)

Whatever can make spawning easier
