Trying to understand encounters Buck Danny
9-9-05
The Encounters phenomenon in Freelancer provides for activity in the Freelancers systems. Encounters are
created in zones and whenever a player enters and during his presence in a zone, encounters are created.
The type of encounter, the amount of encounters in a timeframe, factions involved, behaviour etc. is laid
down by numerous variables that are declared in various files.
Warning! This information was put together for my own convience, because I found this one of the most
complex phenomenons in Freelancer. This is not a tutorial and is no absolute sience, it is just a compilation
of my findings. It might be of some help for you. But there is one thing I am sure of, it will certainly deepen
your knowlegde of encounters. It is based on my studying of the phenomenon, gathering and analyzing data
from ini files, but mostly on observations, testing, checking, testing, checking…… one CTD after another
and my interpretations and conclusions, which in the end might prove not to be true or not completely true
because I failed to see the true purpose of parameters.
