They should never ever have an impact on encounters though. I don't mind just watching them fly by as an aesthetic, but it gets annoying when an NPC rams head first into an encounter I have, impacting the enjoyment of things.
IMO cap and GB NPCs should have their own gun types, like snub NPCs do. That way they can have all the nice effects and aesthetics, except the damage from their guns would be harmless.
The server is about players interacting with players, not players interacting with NPCs. Still can't believe that some planet docking rings were given the ability to fire two cruiser missiles. It's terrible.
Whilst true, at the same time, a House Capital system not a place where one should expect to being casually strolling near a capital planet as an unlawful with near impunity. And I do believe most of the cap patrols are near planets to help prevent this, correct?
So, maybe your target "encounters" should happen a bit further from them, or otherwise you just roll the dice and do your best and thus is the price one pays for such activity in a Capital System?
