Non-Player Characters are the AI-controlled characters in Vendetta. These can range from a small trading vessel to a huge battlecruiser, and can be either Unaligned or aligned with one or more factions.
 
===How do I kill THAT?===
On the page for each individual bot, look for the How to Kill section. Over time each will have this section added. Common phrases you will need to know include:<br>
strafe - move your ship laterally or vertically (default keys a, d, r, f)<br>
backroll - press and hold one strafe key, one roll key (q or e) and backward thrust (default s, you MUST have flight assist off)<br>
attack roll - identical to a backroll, accept that you use the forward key instead (default w)<br>
<br>
Common bot personalities:<br>
Each bot is spawned with one of several random AI personalities. In the How to Kill section they will be identified as follows:<br>
aloof - the bot attempts to keep a minimum of 200+ meters from the ship it is attacking<br>
suicide - the bot gets right in your face, sometimes ramming your ship<br>
generic - a bot that attempts to maintain a comfortable shooting distance of within 200 meters and further than 60 meters<br>
<br>
As a general rule, an attack roll against an aloof bot will only frustrate you. The best strategy is to backroll until it gives chase- each bot is determined to keep its preferred distance- and then switch to an attack roll to get close enough to unleash some death. A suicide bot is hard to hit if only because it is really close. In some bots, this prevents them from scoring hits as much as it prevents you. In others.. you'll pay for ignoring the suicide bot. Generic bots are preferred, because time is permitted to evade their fire while returning the favor is usually possible and effective.
