Reavers: Terror of the Verse

Attention

This mod uses Server-Side Scripting. It will only run on a Dedicated Server.

What Are Reavers?

The Reavers in this mod are heavily inspired by the Reavers of the Firefly TV series / Serenity movie. They are aggressive, cannibalistic pirates that fly macabre ships often adorned with sharp protrusions and bodies of their previous victims. When they spot a target, they will chase it relentlessly - that is their way.

Reavers do not automatically know where players or targets are (unless they are alerted by other Reavers). They detect their targets using a few methods. Up to 10km, they can see any target that has an antenna or beacon signal that is visible to them. Within 5km, they can detect grid motion depending on its speed and size. Within 2km, targets are considered to be within visual range regardless of broadcasting signals or movement. They will attack player characters, and player / NPC owned grids.

Types Of Encounters

You will mainly encounter Reavers while in space or on Lunar Surfaces (anywhere that standard cargo ships can appear).

Reavers also have a small chance of appearing in the dead zone between where planetary atmosphere ends and zero-gravity begins. This is enabled by a recent Modular Encounters Spawner feature that allows "Gravity Cargo Ships"

While on planets, each Reaver SpawnGroup has a 0.5% chance of being considered an eligible spawn during the spawning process. So planetary encounters are very rare, but certainly possible.

Depending on what sort of grids you have built, you will encounter different types of Reaver ships. If you have large and well armed grids, then you can expect to see larger Reaver encounters. Small Reaver encounters start at a threat score of 333, Medium start at 666, and the Largest encounters start at 999. If you are an admin or playing offline, you can check Threat Score at your current position using the spawner /MES.GESAP chat command.
