' Wrote:Well.. so far i only met BAF capital ships shooting NPCs, and i was the only one in a fighter.. I guess i'll check again in the evening..
Dunno about today, but yesterday I logged with Dieter and some indies. We had a Dunkirk with fighter escort killing BSs and stuff. Was pretty cool :cool:
' Wrote:There will be only caps so there is no point of going there in something smaller i predict.
Wrong. I was there all day in my HF,and bomber. + you can run from a cap dam easy in smaller ships.
Point. A KNF BS tried to stop me from killing NPC's 5 times this evening. I cruised to a new location,and continued the carnage.
Big ship's do nothing to stop the NPC farming, they are slow, and BS's have no CD's to stop cruise.
Also as stated, can hug 1 of 2 BAF BS's where KNF NPC's are always abundant.

It's always awesome when a competition is won through poor sportsmanship. :dry:
' Wrote:And how does that promote RP in any way or add any taste to an MMO game if all we have to do to "win" is to get on the server when everyone from the other side are sleeping and farm endless waves of NPCs and log off soon as a possibly-hostile player pops up?
If you ask me, knock down the numbers by a lot but make it player kill only. That'd be more fun and more challenging for everyone, and will encourage people to get on as well. Also, KNF has particularly no goal except "Stop BAF from NPC farming" which is rather lame imo. Give both sides a goal and make it player-only. Like, If BAF kills X number of KNF this happens, but if KNF manages to kill Y number of BAF that happens instead.
Then that'd be fun for everyone, and would actually encourage people to do some player interaction, which is the main purpose of an MMO, not going out and shootin retarded bots which is somethin everyone can go do in SP or their own server without annoying the other players. Basically, what you're doing is giving the BAF a free win and encouraging them to go no-life the NPC spawn points while KNF can do nothing about it except no-lifing the game 24/7 and TRYING to get rid of NPC farmers around the place. (Oh, and mind you... Killing NPCs while being under fire isn't a hard thing either)
tl;dnr version -
This is my opinion, NPC farming really? I mean really really?:wacko:

you know. all knf needs is 3-4 decent dessy pilots and baf will be doomed.
i dont see why you all moan. just log on en masse. dont even need to fight. just keep as many players online and npc's will hardly spawn.
me and some others waited about 6 minutes at holman without seeing anything, even at 130 players....
say KNF keeps about 10 People online... that would do alot to the respawn rate, and all they need to do is being online. dont have to be their knf either....
