People are always talking about planets and mission chains, so lets make some NPC ideas!

Temporal Rift Ship
Matched
Extremely Rare
XP: 55
Drops: Temporal Flux Orb, Temporal Rift Emmiter (resets all timers, except alerts. Includes planetary invasions.)
Stats at rank 100:
Hull: 500
Attack: 900
Defense: 1300
Cloak: 200

Ability: Rift Cloak - immune to artifacts.

There is a flaw in your temporal rift artifact.
What use is it if it doesnt reset invasion and alert timers? Is just abillity timers?

Basically it includes:
Hack
Raid
Invade
Trade
Repair
Gift Share
Abilities
And anything else except alerts.

Woops my bad, didnt see the alert timer.

Make it drop Paradox Generators too, since they're time related. And maybe a supped up Planetary Time Vortex that bumps you up to Peaked in one shot.

The Temporal Rift Emitter is just a new version of the paradox generator, as far as I'm aware. It resets all timers except alerts. As for the souped up time vortex, it's a good idea, but maybe on a different ship. 2 drops is enough.

Also, this thread is for other people to post ideas too! I want to hear your ideas.

Rogue Scrap Hauler.
Rank 90 Uncommon Garbage Ship.

Drops: Time Manipulators(70%), Paradox Generators(20%), Planetary Warp Vortex (10%) (Upgrades a planet to 'peaked').

<insert rsl unfo> Scrap haulers carry parts from various experiments that have failed. Since the RSL tend reverse their errors by warping time, you could find time technology on board.

Stats:
Hull: 100
Shield: 800
Attack: 270
Defense: 650

cool thing

Trying to find a way to get more Time Manipulators now that they are not tradeable? Unless the rarity is changed to extremely rare I don't think your idea is going to be considered for more than a split second (pardon the pun).

wreckage salvager.

Matched
commercial/uncommon
XP: 20
Drops: complex tech parts(between 5-10)
Stats at rank 100:
Hull: 2000
Attack:200
Defense: 1500
Cloak: 0
Special ability: risk of being alerted to battle fleet (destruction of commercial craft)

always wanted to see some thing like this o,O battle fleet is like flame hawk. only easier

No. I simply chose them because people like TMs and the other choice was planetary time vortex, which are common enough already. I don't see why TMs should be as rare as terraformers.

Crimson Castle-extremely rare boss
rank:250-1400
hull:120,000
shield:70,000
Defense:7000
attack:14000
cloak:500

The Crimson Castle is the main operational center for crimson warfare. It is equipped with the best weapons the crimsons have. It is used as an artillery to destroy all the enemies of the crimson empire. It is said that the crimson castle can take out many ships in just one shot.

countermeasures:
- crimson rally( more crimson ships come in guarding the base increasing atack by 30%)
- Explosion ( the crimson castle deals an extra 1000 damage to your hull)
- blockade ( not allowed to use artifacts on the crimson castle for 15 minutes)

rewards:
- 500xp
- Crimson databank-( tells the loctaion of an extremly rich or better planet-NOTE- to be fair this can not reveal a mission dyson or exotic, BUT natural ones can be found) 40%
- Crimson Archive- (gives you 4 hours of research) 40%
- crimson cluster missle-10%
- Crimson vault- (gives you 10 tactical officers and 10 deck space) 10%

This is just too many drops... most drop 1-3 items...
The Crimson Ray should probably be classed as a crimson weapon, falling under the 4 limit.
I like databank.
The archive seems underpowered for a 10% chance...
The vault seems nice.

okay ill get rid of some

also some of the ones that are not as good as the others are meant to be a little rarer

How about:


LAUZLI CARGO VESSEL-

The Lauzli cargo vessel is vital for the survival of the race. This vessel transports materials to the many lazuli factory’s and refinery’s. The Lauzli cargo Vessel is heavily equipped with the most advanced technology the Lauzli have. You will need the help of others to seize the treasures held in the ship.
Rank 325 extremely rare Station (shared between ranks 250-700)
Rewards top 4 damages
Attack: 3,200
Defense: 3,100
Hull: 20,000
Shield: 25,000
cloak: 600
Rewards:
-Lauzli cargo Cache- gives you 4 hours of minerals and artifacts- 20%
-Population bunkers- adds a permanent 10 population to a planet- 10%
-Cloaking Shield- adds 5% cloak for 12 hours- 70%

Happen to notice that there is only a 25% chance to get a reward... that means in the top 4 only 1 will get a reward. A cargo vessel is also not a station.

Sorry if I sound like a critic...

whops, i wrote the percentage wrong, the cloaking shiled is supposed to be 70%, thanks for pointing that out

-Off topic-
Strm, I notice by your location displayed by the side of your post that you are on my planet. I wish you luck getting out, past many mines and under phase cutter fire. I request that you leave immediately, and I will show you a safe way out.
