Very nice, the NPC visibilty part sounds really awesome.

Not really.
Because now it's TWICE as immersive to get away from the CD-spamming F[censored]
Gunny, seriously - NPCs don't need improvements, they need to be erased or at the very least their CDs taken away and numbers halved.

Go to the Pub. Then work on the Server. Could be funny.

Locked on a Sabre at 5K range, it went ~poof~ at 6K. Really helpful, might make those battleship NPCs less painful.

' Wrote:Please add some mining fields in Kusari aswell, for Samura or Kishiro to mine something aswell. Maybe platinum ore? Somethign that can bring more activity in Kusari? Please, because Kusari is about to die with the lack of activity that it's undergoing.*Shudders at the thought of miners in Kusari*
Please don't. It's the last remaining sanctury from the stupidity that mining causes.

Actually, I think good mining and trading routes/areas near or in Kusari would do good. Kusari needs more activity. Of course, it would attract a few lolminers, but with activity, the chances for good roleplay is increased as well.
Back on topic, really nice work Cannon, as always. Have a beer or twelve.

not really. The CD-range didn't get increased, so it's about as hard to get away as it was before. Also, you could have noticed that before, if you stopped right after you lost the NPCs from sight they reappeared on your scanners. They've been there all the time, just being invisible.
As for missions: It does work, but not necessarily on the first encounter. They will spawn as soon as you are at 2.3k to the waypoint. I killed ossies earlier at >3k. Downside is that I was unable to get any loot from them at that distance. there simply wasn't anything to tractor once I moved in to the debris. Even more annoying was the fact that the cargo I had to destroy didn't stay around for more than 3k and so I failed the mission.

I think it's safe to call that a feature for now. Getting 1 fighter (player) to be in close range should deal with it just nicely.

Perhaps you could reduce your signature size and post something more useful, please? At least be specific.
