AI Behavior
NPC empire automation is currently decommissioned. Existing NPC accounts may still appear in the universe, but they are not expected to launch new automated fleets, queue actions, chat, scout, join alliances, or retaliate.
Treat these accounts like ordinary inactive accounts unless new player-facing release notes say AI opponents have been restored.
What You May Still See
- Old reports, messages, alliances, ships, defenses, resources, and movement history can remain from before decommissioning.
- Existing in-flight missions still follow normal fleet rules.
- The account can still be attacked, probed, raided, or observed like any other inactive account.
If an NPC account appears to perform a new automated action, report the account name, approximate time, and what you saw.
