Having just seen the 6.50 log and seeing the NPR discovering new NPR's part I have a quick Q. Steve has already illustrated that once a system has been created upon discovery that it will either have or not have an NPR withing the system at the creation point, so an NPR will not suddenly appear when the player first enters the system. My thoughts around this were that NPR's could have their generation chance kept at zero for other NPR's and at a reasonable number for things like precursors. Then the player can just use SM to generate an NPR inside a system when they feel the need for more.
So how does the SM NPR generation system work with regards to system bodies? If for example I decided to generate a new NPR within Sol would the game create a new system body for them to live on or would they just get created on a body that has conditions that allow for life?
