Anyone sometimes get the random allied npc that spawns and starts helping you? Is it a power or a random thing? I was in my escort fighting and all of a sudden a gryphon escort pops in and starts attack the enemy. Im not sure how it happeend but was kinda cool.

    The only allied NPCs I've seen are those that are part of the mission.

    Science Players get Photonic Fleet, which can be used to summon in support ships. It's available at Captain 8, I believe.

    Tactical Officers get the ground version of that, you can summon in 2-3 red shirts to assist you.

    This really is strange on another patrol mission on my escort and a allied npc trident science ship pops outta no where. Is this just a bug or some passive ability with escorts?

    Okay, I found out what's going on. There's a passive ability at RA3 that you get called Fleet Support.

    More info's here:

    From that post:
    Admiral 3 grants the Fleet Support ability. You can't see the ability because it's passive. If you're below 50% hull, there's a chance that a ship will appear to aid you in battle.
