Multiplayer NPC taxing
-
I am tormented by a question, in what case NPC taxing player, any encounters should taxing or only specific patrols?
For example at launch from Planet Manhattan Liberty Police NPC can ask the goods, and at launch from Planet Malta Outcasts NPC ask nothing, and ask only when you already sit down on a planet, have not time to shoot down at all you for the illegal goods.
How to me to make so Outcasts NPC demanded at once the goods at launch from a planet?

-
well they all should tax you .
Well, I think so.
Ok, second question is:
- why Outcasts NPC with similar parameters require me to drop the goods only after clicking on dock?
-
i dont know that one . you can also do this anounce scan = false . then they wont anounce the scan
I know this.
Simply i just made it to see fact of scan. -
also your area defend you wanna might make that a bigger number encounter = area_defend 1, 0.100000
where police are concerned and navy. because the mod i am playing now the cops and millitary are allover my heels. im playing on gibbons server http://gizmostudios.proboards38.com/index.cgi -
I’ve tested NPC cargo scans fairly extensively with lawful factions. What I found was only the patrol path NPC (patrolp encounters) will scan cargo. I have never seen Area encounter NPCs scan cargo with any value of scan chance. I have no reason to think the unlawful factions would behave differently.
This would probably explain why you’re seeing fewer Outcasts scan your cargo, as I believe there are far more patrol routes around Manhattan than Malta. And the way patrol routes converge at the bases that is where you’re most likely to cross them and hence why you’re seeing them only scan you as you dock.
Hope that helps.

Thank you Icely, this only confirms my thoughts
