Hi all. I have problem with NPC Groups. I try to make a space fight. So I set npc groups but there is only one ship on the map and costumes are not the one that i selected. So what i'm doing wrong? Or is it some bug?

NPC groups in space will scale the number of ships that spawn based on the number of players in your team, the more players you have, the more ships will spawn. Frigate groups start out with 3 ships spawning and move upwards from there. Cruiser and battleship groups start with 1 ship. Ground groups are different, they always have a set number of mobs spawn.

If you look at the left menu on the map editing screen and find the NPC Group in the list, hit the little triangle to expand it. You'll see a list of all the potential ship spawns. Generally speaking, the lowest number npc in that group will be the first to spawn. I've seen some where this was not the case though.

If you are really wanting a specific ship to spawn every time, I'd say reskin and rename every contact in the group. I think that most people probably play Foundry missions solo, so you won't have a lot of problems with duplicate ships. That's just a guess though, I don't know if there are stats available on that. Maybe Cryptic could enlighten us.

In a Cruiser or Battleship group, the second actor from the bottom in the list is the one that will spawn. In a Frigate group, it's the second, third, and fourth actors that will spawn. Not sure about fighters yet.

Really? 2nd one from the bottom? I always thought it was the 1st. I could be wrong though.

Also there's a problem with the revamped system. Now if you rename a contact in the list, it'll jump up to be in alphabetical order, rather than staying in its correct order.

aha thank you, it's kind a stupid . It's better to function like on ground.

It's probably done that like because on ground maps you will always have five "players" whether its you and 4 boffs or you and four friends.

The space map will only have as many ships as real people.

It used to be 1st from the bottom, but with the Season 6 revamp, it's now 2nd from the bottom. Don't ask me why.

Just another in the list of "improvements" that nobody needed or wanted I guess.

Yeah, but if foundry is a tool which let you makes your own missions, then is logical to let YOU to define how many ships you want on the map whether they are friends or foes.
