They are armed with 2 Guns kinda like the Pistol with a firerate of 1/s. Right now they placed on some new/reupdated Vehicles and Buildings and they dont need an AI to work and also wont fall of the Vehicle itself.

They try to take control of Turrets ( they use every guntype they can find ) and also Vehicle Controller but sometimes struggle to get to the weapon itself and they cant use the failsave. You can see on what team they fighting by look at the NPC itself, it wears a little Flag.

To kill one of them you have to kill the NPC, destroying the Spawner/Spawnpoint wont kill them.
The Only way of Respawn them is to force the vehicle in play.

Take care if you wanna fight them because they use the same aimsystem like the AI so they will most of the time hit you. The best chance you got is on long range.
They got the same health as the player so 1 big canon shell or a rocket can oneshot them.

One little hint for the end ... never shot your own NPC they dont like it and maybe try to kill you ;)

oh noo...

[Xicotencatl]

they REMOVED them!

[Aquidu]

They look kinda cute... Even though it's a robot.

I'd love the ability to set these guys to attack enemy structures, that way instead of putting a bunch of ships with cannons which will probably just ram the land and I have to capture the structures myself I could just make a landing craft filled with NPCs set to attack structures and put a bunch of em down right in front of the structures.

but they sometimes fail to even move, making them unable to do stuff, and a bug that occurs, they swarm an already occupied Captain Wheel

[MJRAHOLE]

I use the AI's to arm AA Guns, i made an Airfield and i sometimes even struggle, so if your programming sux, use these guys

[felix34ever1]

I demand the devs to let u make Tactical marine squadrons with more humanoid AI NPC SOLDIERS and drop them in a pod to swarm the DWG

[WhiskeyFur]

I would love to drop a swarm of these as like marines as I fly over an enemy fortress....

Destroying the spawn/spawnpoint does destroy the NPC..

He did hit the nail on the head though. There is one last thing though. NPC spawners don't spawn NPC's in multiplayer. Maybe a ping failsafe, maybe a bug, who knows, who cares. If you're making a ship for AI fights, you're going to need regular AI mainframe/weapon controller set-ups. If you're making 'em for budkai tourniments, NPC spawn away... Or maybe not... They are capable of repairing locally destroyed parts, in theory.
