I'm close to activating this mission; do they clog up the npc slots ?

I believe Black Knight is still farming them for debris to sell, and he's low-mid 300's...

simply put been farming these guys for debric/ easy exp for close to 100 lvl's now and while they are REALLY REALLY common i would recomend not activating that mission for a while ( my 2 cents) that way u get more of teh uncommons that we miss out on or if u just want to skip it i have 700 debris u can have lol

Well it depends on what it spawns; I need to measure if its just a random spawn from the 5-6 in the set, or if its higher when your rank is higher. since you are 300-something, you see a lot of the rank < 50 ones ? How often do you see Revenants ?

My point is the XP of most of the spawns is better than a flamehawk, therefore they improve your overall xp. However, it may not be worth it depending on their frequency (you sacrifice some % of your rare spawns by having them). I'm still unsure.

well i see a lot of the 3 shot ones ( about 75% are 3 shotters) and of that i kept track for 3 days and about 1/2 wer revenants SO tho its not a complete layout i'd say the high rank ones are more common than the lower ones

That might make it worth keeping around, I just want to complete 2 of 3 for the glaviz for now and leave the mission on I guess. How much for the parts to complete it at will should the spawns irritate me ?

According to my calculations only the Wraith and the Revenant (two largest) can be 3 shot.

No planet building cause I'm not setup to NPC yet.... 300 ku for 30 which finishes the mission ? I will take that its like 500m credits for the option to stop the spawns that won't expire hehe. I am almost at the point where I could take them out if I had to, just not enough decks to fit my tech yet.

Updated wiki with xp stats. Keep in mind everything just for hitting it gives 8-13 , average is 2.1 xp/energy. Then you get whatever the kill bonus ratio is. The value of keeping these spawning depends on what % of each type spawn, which I have little data on right now I figure you see more of them, looks like more higher ranked ones can you keep count for me ?

Zolazin Shadow / Minimum Shots: 4 / Maximum XP ratio: 2.1(base) + 1.0(kill) = 3.1 xp/energy
Zolazin Banshee / Minimum Shots: 3 / Maximum XP ratio: 2.1(base) + 1.33(kill) = 3.43 xp/energy
Zolazin Shade / Minimum Shots: 4 / Maximum XP ratio: 2.1(base) + 1.0(kill) = 3.1 xp/energy
Zolazin Phantom / Minimum Shots: 4 / Maximum XP ratio: 2.1(base) + 1.25(kill) = 3.35 xp/energy
Zolazin Wraith / Minimum Shots: 3 / Maximum XP ratio: 2.1(base) + 1.67(kill) = 3.77 xp/energy
Zolazin Revenant / Minimum Shots: 2 / Maximum XP ratio: 2.1(base) + 2.5(kill) = 4.6 xp/energy

Average xp ratio (assuming really high attack like 10k+ for max damage): 3.558 . Now a flamehawk is 2.96 at 20k+ attack, minimum 7 hits . So it seems better to leave it on to increase overall xp ratio. However, if you are say 2 shotting a charger, 3-4 shotting a dark runner... you might be over 3.6, meaning this decreases your ratio. You will note that if its affected by rank, in that it spawns larger ones at a high rank, the highest two are much higher xp ratio than the lower ones. This has yet to be proven. You would want at least 100+ spawns to start seeing a pattern. I intend to leave the mission on and find out what the reality is.

So far I have not seen above the rank 70 in about 10 of them. If you see them a lot (the higher ones) then maybe it is affected by rank ?

I did notice that it tended not to spawn above my rank, I have yet to see a revenant in like 20-something, mostly the 10, 15 rank ones. Keep count and let me know.

i will keep count for one week, but it will have to wait at least 2 weeks as im filling my npc list with mission npc's ( such as this weeks) and planning to screen shot it with about 30 ships XD
