Thanks.Not quite - these are two separate things. The "1" means that the computer created a single NPR somewhere else in the universe at the same time it created you. The 30% is the probability that when someone (you or an NPR) enters a system with a world which meets the criteria for an NPR homeworld, an NPR will be generated. The italics are because this condition is moderately rare (decent oxygen, temp, gravity, etc.).
I believe I set initial npr's to "1" with the understanding that everytime a new system is generated, there is a 30 percent chance of an NPR generation in the next drop down(I followed the create game tutorial setup)...does that sound right?
I also went into SM mode and hit the "add npr" button (or whatever its called)...does this mean I created a race that I have to control? I have 4.8.Go to the "game" pulldown in the main menu bar, and pick "select default race" (ctrl-R). If you only see your race, the answer is no. If you see another race, the answer is yes :-)
Ok..so I am feeling a little frisky and want to try out my new ships. I have spread my little wings and traveled to 3 different systems but so far...no NPR's and no precursors. Is there a table or something in SM mode that can tell me hw many NPRs are out there? Just want to make sure I'm not alone. If there are a bunch, I'll settle down and consolidate.
