=== Caspian Explorer Update ===

The free Caspian Explorer update released on 2 Dec 2025.<ref name=":7">[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/elite-dangerous-caspian-explorer-update.643685/ Elite Dangerous | Caspian Explorer Update] - Frontier Forums - 2 Dec 2025</ref> This significantly improved the on-foot NPC combat behavior, and rebalanced suits & weapons.<ref name=":7" /> Here's a list of changes:

* Adjustments Made to On-Foot NPC Combat Behaviours:

** General Movement Speed:

*** Introduced a haste system which controls NPCs movement speed. Maximum haste values make NPCs run faster than current speeds.

*** NPCs will be more combat efficient, more decisive, and have better threat detection.

** Dodging Improvements:

*** NPC will now prioritise dodging into cover if possible.

** Crouching Improvements:

*** NPCs will crouch more often including behind cover, reloading, or to evade.

** Retreating/Cover Movement:

*** Improved reaction time when an NPC needs to take cover.

*** NPCs will make better use of cover and be less likely to stand in the open.

** Under Threat Behaviour Improvements:

*** If the NPC is shot at or has low shield or health, they will attempt to take cover.

*** Once their shield has returned, they will resume usual behaviours.

*** This behaviour replaces the old "fleeing" behaviour entirely.

** Advance Towards Threat Behaviour:

*** Strikers and Scouts may decide to advance under fire until they lose their shields entirely.

*** Other NPCs are more likely to retreat under threat.

** Crime Scan Adjustments:

*** Security will now crime scan from a longer range. This removes the short walk to the target.

*** Security NPC will turn to face the target before starting.

** Grenade Behaviour Adjustments:

*** Grenades are more often used against groups.

*** Grenades are used to flush targets out from cover.

*** NPCs will now use memorised and reported positions to better identify large groups of targets.

*** Ensured that NPCs will no longer throw EMP grenades at targets with low shield proportion.

* Rebalanced suits & weapons

** Rebalanced NPCs suit and shield resistances to reduce the disparity between damage types vs shields and armour for suits/shields (this does not affect the player they are using the old resistances)

** Weapon changes:

*** Improved stow and draw times for all weapons

*** Adjusted weapon handling modification to account for new stow and draw times

*** Decreased flight time on projectiles for:

**** Manticore Executioner

**** Manticore Tormentor

**** Manticore Oppressor

*** Increased ammo for:

**** Karma AR-50

**** TK Eclipse

*** Decreased ammo for:

**** Karma C-44

*** Decreased reload speed for:

**** Karma L-6
