Players in Elite Dangerous have spotted NPC pilots flying the Caspian ship model, marking the first time AI has been seen operating an MK2 ship other than the Mandalay since the Engineers update. This change was noticed after a player acquired Guardian Boosters, hinting at a possible update or shift in NPC behavior or ship assignments. The development suggests evolving AI capabilities and could introduce new gameplay dynamics involving NPC-piloted vessels. Commanders should watch for further changes as NPC fleets diversify their ship models.
