    So as soon as i left the alpha sector, almost every planet i went to from beta to delta, there are from 4 to 8 almost empty science labs in a row. IDK if i am just getting extremely lucky or if others are having the same thing. I only find 2 or 3 npc's to fight and just destroy the place getting building material walk out of it to find another one. Not complaining, but just kinda weird lol.

    If by "Science Labs" you mean those observatory dome buildings with the "Banana" poster - Then yes, they seem to happen quite often.

    not just those, i find the ones that contain the green container things that make zombie monkeys lol. before the wipe, when i would find them they would be filled with guards and scientists but now, completely empty expect for a few guards.

    I actually ran into four of them on one planet. However, I did notice that there were less NPCs in them compared to the previous version of this game. In particular, there was only a door guard on the left side of the building, the right side did not have one and I was able to casually walk in without harm.

    Yeah found at least 1 on every planet I have been to so far and they are all empty except for one that had some sort of zombie ape in it. Pretty much all the chests I fin either have pulse jump or speed dash tech in them as well but yeah defo think there are far to many ape labs at the mo

    Lore wise the Apex leaders are totals dictators that do sketchy scientific research to advance their own race. It makes sense they would have semi-secret facilities on worlds that people consider 'remote' as for the lack of guards and npcs? Well. I think they just keep the staff minimal so they can be 'taken care of' more easily than a huge staff. That's my two cents anyways. Edit; and for the empty labs it's really common for people to just destroy all important stuff and skip out, or the Apex leaders devided the lsb has run its course and killed the staff then left. I think in the future they plan to add more depth to the race 'dungeons' once all the heavy stuff has been taken care of.

    I've found five of them in a row, same exact copies (NPC's had different weapons each time). It appears Big Ape has begun spreading his influence across the Alpha Sector...
