I'm not saying it should be easy but theire is a difrence betwen easy, and having to spendt 6000+ energy just to find 1 standart Q-Pedd ship
the way it is right now, the Q-Pedd Assembly Line is more or less limited to players who are lucky enougth to actidently get the boss on scanner, and also lucky enogth to get the drop
and players who can autorank on NPC's and doesnt mind gaining 50+ ranks in 14 days

You're making a fairly big assumption based on no facts. Dan didn't even acknowledge this thread let alone say anything about boosting the spawn chance. There's every chance you'll find zero in the next 4 days.

I don't think he did, but problem is the random generator hates me did a Q-Pedd hunt, just now - found 1 standart + 0 elites Q-Pedd ships and ended up with this on scanner  so still think spawn rate is extremly low, compaired to the standart Q-Pedd ship is suposed to be uncommon find a lot more rare or extremly rare NPC's compaired to the number off Q-Pedds I get

Doesn't the spawn rate just increase for holiday NPCs as the event goes on?

I don't think he did, but problem is the random generator hates me Well to compare we had 8 when I posted originally and went up to 13 in the last 2 days. It is not a very big increase but it is an increase. @ Darth Averages of large samples such as 100k NPC kills in a day nullify the randomness of their spawning. While my 4 may be statistically high for their current rate and can be contributed to randomness. My legion total for the same amount of NPCs alerted/killed in the same duration of time can't. There was an increase, it was the huge 10x like we had on the last day of bane or on Black Friday but there was one. **Edited by Maude** stop the bickering boys!

Either raise the spawn rate or raise the ability's amount of research, I have the mod, if he is not going to make a screen where we can see and use all the mod abilities, im definately not using the ability
Actually, just raise the ability aswell... really.. 4 research per day.. not worth the effort, i get at least 20 android scientists from my arti production

**Edited by Maude** once again.....
Now for the topic at hand. Looks like a suggestion in the suggestions and ideas forum. I'd just like it if Dan told us a little about the spawn rate so we could prepare accordingly since like Pony said, real life stuff can keep us down. For me, if I wanna NPC Thursday and do homework Wednesday night but the spawn rates are better for Wednesday, I will make an adjustment to my schedule and flip the 2 around.

Also 3 more since I last posted. So doubled the amount in the last 2 days than the previous 2 days.

**edited by Maude** quit quoting the bickering!
I dont care atm. I kinda would like to flame you both on it would be fun. But I'm kinda mad over this npc guy like the rest and agree with fluffy mostly cause I have killed like 40 little ones and I ahve played for 6 damn hours today npc'ing and not a SINGLE ONE! over 15 hours npc from the start of this event. nothing gets to me more then WASTING my time for nothing! your spawn rates are just had bad your your ability to answer questions about the game.

Got both my ship mods already, so I can't complain, but it would definitely be nice to raise the rates for those not quite so lucky as me though.... lol
