System Messages NPC Faction Messages Game Mechanics If a player opens their Character Sheet (CTRL+ C key), they will see 3 tabs: Status, Personal and Factions. If the player looks at the Factions tab, it will give a list of all the factions that they have affected and their standings with that faction. A player's faction standing will be a number ranging from 5000 to -5000 and this number represents how NPC's will react to the player depending on the number rating in your Factions standing window. The lower the number, the more hostile they will be towards them. The higher the number, the more they consider a player to be an ally. To raise or lower Faction standings with any faction group ("Faction Name" column), players must kill faction enemies to gain their support (the factions listed in the "Faction Enemy" column). There are three kinds of npcs in the world; those npcs that are aggressive by default, those that are non aggressive by default, and Galactic Civil War npcs. These NPCs have three ranges by which they classify their relations with players; Like, Dislike and Hate. These relationship gauges represent a scale where the player must meet a certain criteria in order to solicit certain behaviors from npcs. These scales vary based on which type of npc the player is facing. Aggressive npcs take more faction to like the player than those npcs that are non aggressive by default. The range of the values are as follows: Note: Aggressive npcs will aggro a player unless they Like the player. Non aggressive npcs will only aggro a player if they Hate them. The only exceptions to the Non Aggressive npc rule are thugs and bandit factions which act like Aggressive npcs. GCW npcs are always hostile towards members of enemy faction regardless of accrued positive faction by the player. Non Aggressive Like: 3000:5000 Dislike -2999:2999 Hate: -5000:-3000 Aggressive Like: 3000:5000 Dislike -2999:2999 Hate: -5000:-3000 Faction Point Gain When a player kills a member of a non GCW faction, they receive a faction loss of: (10 x Challenge Level of Target) The faction points received by the player for the enemies of the npc killed are: ( (10 x Challenge Level of Target) / 2 ) When a player kills a member of a GCW faction, they receive a faction loss of: Faction Reactions If an npc is within a detection range of any combat occuring involving a a player or npc group that is attacking a faction enemy then the npc will assist in the fight to defeat their faction enemy, regardless of the faction status between the attackers and the npc. (ex. Mokk npc will even assist a player with -5000 mokk faction who is attacking a janta npc if the mokk npc is in detection range) Note: Rebel and imperial faction npcs will assist ANY player that is under attack within their detection range, regardless of their faction standing with them. Hostile faction enemies within detection range are immediately attacked. Source References Source Source in Context
