NPCs are damn too strong.

The funny thing is that that video isn't even close to how ridiculous NPCs can be.

I will tell you all a great story now.

Once upon a time, little Otousan the Iseijin pilot went to Tau-23:



As you can see, he was greeted by many Gallic friends of his. Five servals and two Gunboats.

Now, Otousan was good at flying circles, so he was alright.

Then, a GRN| pilot appeared, who little Otousan tried to convince he wasn't an infectee at all! It went alright, until little Otousan parked his ship on a rock.

If not for his quick reflexes - dodging the gunboat missiles just in time - his automated Gallic friends would have killed him in as little as a second!

This made him very unhappy.

The worst part is, however, that more Gallic friends that weren't automated (GRN|) appeared, but they wouldn't believe Otousan anymore because he was in all-out combat with their automated friends!

So Otousan left. When he saw that some IMG NPCs appeared as well just as he left, he knew he was lucky those didn't start shooting him as well, or it certainly would have ended badly!

Little Otousan could tell you many more stories about gates almost killing him before he even regained control over his ship, or planets nearly blowing him up every time he passed them, but he will save them for another day.
