Cap Ship Patrols - Capt. Henry Morgan - 06-23-2010
Cap spawns aren't really a problem. I've never seen one spawn in an unexpected location, and they're dead easy to escape from. Other that the planetdiving and distance/visibility issue, those NPCs are fine as-is.
The real problem is the fact that NPC fighters have CDs and that CMs are nearly ineffective (and completely ineffective against players). Getting disrupted more often than you can count and using up all 70 CMs to no avail, all to get to an RP several system away while being chased by 24,863 hostile NPCs is not fun. That's not quite the point of the thread, however.

Give the Order cap patrols, and I'll be happy.

Only area where they can "pop up" in open space without you taking a mission is Omicron Delta... and nomad systems.

This is mainly due to the fact that right now you can be shot at by invisible NPC capships, because they've got 3-4k weapon range on those 'heavy' weapons, but only show up visibly on your screen at 2k distance.
Funnily enough BS primaries have over 2k range. Razors have not, no free flying NPC capships have mortars.
So the invisible fire comes from BS primaries and you want more of those?

I also agree with Tenacity and I think they should be more.

I disagree. This very fact makes it harder for pirates to camp planets and bases.

Okay, less. Replace them with Mortars.
Maybe edit the mortar to have a 3.03 refire.
Really, I just think it's hilarious when people get killed by patrols that aren't me. Maybe they should be toned down a bit.

Yes, take them down! All they do is crash onto the planet and cause damage to the inhabitants.
