Removing the NPCs?

[Highland Laddie]

Im kind of mixed on this topic on one hand my Police officer wants to say " No no! Let those Gunboat patrols stay! Their crack shots with those razors!"

Meanwhile on my criminal side I'm saying get those things out of here.

Then me as a player steps in and says this:

As much as I love/hate NPC they add a small aura of realism and a bit of entertainment when I hear that hopeful DSE pilot getting excited saying " I hope this cargo hold full of Oxygen fetches a good price!" So overall im going to have to say NPC need to stay if only to make space feel less " Forever alone-y"

In agreement with this and with Pancakes. Tone them down a bit. Not to the point of uselessness, but certainly without missles/mines.
