Each level of Perception reduces the rate at which your plane's condition drops, and increases the chance of encountering pirates on hunts only, not risky, safe, or normal flight legs. With more Perception, your plane can last longer between services, but the extent of this modification to the rate of plane condition decrease is unknown.
Based on calculations by Zabrak!, we now have a greater understanding of how Perception affects hunts.
Every 300 seconds (5 minutes) the game will roll to see if it generates a combat.
The probability of generating a combat is highly dependent on your Perception level, and levels of 3 or less have little probability of succeeding.
A Perception of 4 has a 90-95% chance of generating a combat. A Perception of 5 practically ensures a hunt.
