=== Travel Encounters ===
Travel encounters are just like wilderness scouts.  You log in to the game client, enter the event when it spawns, and play it as you see fit.  When traveling this usually means running away to at least 351 meters, rather than fighting.  You should always attempt a Truce/Bounty (using the game menu).

If you do not escape at 351 meters, you can run to the 'auto escape' distance of 500 meters.  This has the advantage of '''possibly''' giving your driving character a small skill boost in Driving.

After all encounters have been processed you will receive a message that your squad will arrive at its destination at the specified time.

Question: (Jant) Is the amount or type of npc cars that you get dependant at all on what value or quantity of items you are carrying?
Answer: (Sam) It can sometimes have an effect on NPC CR, yes, if you're carrying high value items. It depends too on the talkativeness of your client.. how likely are bad guys to have overheard your deal etc.
The actual vehicles the NPCs have is somewhat affected by your vehicles, but not by your cargo.

A vehicle's range is based on its weight and fuel tank size.
A vehicle's range is based on its weight and fuel tank size. The equation for determining range is:


The Buggy from above with a 5 unit fuel tank would have a range of 667 miles, while the Windsor with a 2 unit tank would have a range of 48 miles.
Older value : Tank Size/(.0000111*Vehicle Weight) = Range
 
The Buggy from above with a 5 unit fuel tank would have a range of (667) 370 miles, while the Windsor with a 2 unit tank would have a range of 30 miles.

By default, squads travel in the wilderness at 30 miles an hour. The times below are the default travel times. You can set a travel speed anywhere between 15 and 45 miles per hour. The faster your squad travels, the more encounters it will have.
Travel between towns currently takes a fixed amount of real time and squads travel through the wilderness at roughly 30 miles per hour.
To calculate your travel time at your new speed, use the charts on this page.
 
'''
New Travel Time = Miles Between Towns / Your Travel Speed'''
 
or
 
'''
New Travel Time = 30/Your Travel Speed * Default Travel Time.'''
