Planetary Blockade Entities
On Thursday Feburary 9th 2012, Dan released the following statement:
A new type of Planetary Event has been released: Enemy Blockades.
When this occurs, a non-player enemy (NPC) will arrive and surround the planet, producing a negative effect, such as production loss. The negative effect(s) will remain until the NPC is disabled or it expires. The NPC can be targeted either through the ‘Battle’ list, or via the planet itself.
A few additional notes on this new feature for clarification:
- Although they may produce a variety of effects, these NPCs do not attack or invade planets.
- NPCs can only be targeted by the current planet controller and anyone the NPC was alerted to (if it is a boss or elite NPC).
- If the planet is abandoned or invaded while it is blockaded, the NPC will be removed from the planet, but it can still be targeted and disabled from the ‘Battle’ list.
- Alerting an NPC that is blockading a planet will only alert the NPC itself - the planet will NOT be alerted in the process.
- An NPC can find and blockade any planet, including ones that are invincible and/or heavily cloaked.
We look forward to introducing more NPC-planet interactions in the future.
