ENCOUNTER DIFFICULTY - ★★★☆☆- AVERAGE

MOD REBRANDING

Previously, there were 3 mods (Air Traffic, Surface Occupation, and Reddit Custom Encounters) that contained a variety of ships and stations. These three mods were reworked to have modernized grid systems, and to fit into 3 faction-specific mods (Imber, Incon, Parallax).

WHAT IS THE IMBER CORPORATION?

The Imber corporation is an organization that has engaged in aggressive expansion and colonization in many systems. It has very few allies, and even those relationships are not solid.

They will act aggressively towards anyone that approaches their assets. If an individual or group has built a reputation of hostility towards Imber, they may even attack them directly.

It is rumored that they were somehow involved with the emergence of The Corrupt, however the corporation has denied any link between them.

TYPES OF ENCOUNTERS

Imber includes a variety of ships and stations that spawn in all environments. These encounters are hostile by default towards players and other NPCs.

Ships will typically spawn with basic cargo ship behavior (flying from point A to point B). If you lower your reputation with Imber to a low enough point, then some of their more militarized ships will deviate from their cargo ship path to directly engage you if you get too close.

Both ships and stations will sometimes spawn with drones that will escort or patrol the areas near its parent grid.

Stations may call for help when attacked. If there is an eligible cargo ship near by, it may deviate from its path to attack the player that is assaulting the station - otherwise drones may be spawned instead.

SPECIAL COUNTER-MEASURES

Imber encounters are equipped with Jetpack Inhibitor Modules that will interfere with player jetpack usage when too close to these grids. Stations are also equipped with Hand Drill Inhibitor Modules that will interfere with player drill use when too close to a station. These effects do not happen while players are piloting a grid.

SPECIAL THANKS

Massive thank you to Dalten for reworking and modernizing the grids in this encounter pack!
