NPC Fleets Dependencies

[Poryv]

Hello everyone,

how to figure out, where big NPC fleets with high BR spawn more often? What does it depend on?

They follow scripted routes. So they are tied to specific ports that they go between. Highest BR fleets are mostly found around national capitals. Fleets spawn at maintenance and then they keep going along their route. If they are sunk they will respawn somewhere along their route, if they are attacked, but the lead ship is not sunk, then they will respawn after battle in the same position as where they were attacked.

Thanks
Those, which spawn at nation capitals, do they go straight route, or from port to port or from region capials to region capitals?

I have noticed one thing. If you kill all the ships in an NPCs fleet but leave the main one alone, it will re-spawn back in the open world with all the fleet ships again after the battle.

Anyone else found this?

I don't know all the different routes, but I know that one of the 25 Victory fleets that goes from the Swedish capital visits Pasaje or Fajardo on its route.

My guess is that most fleets serve only one (or maybe two) either capital or regional capital, and then some number of smaller ports in addition.
