Strong NPCs vs weak NPCS?

[Lythrilux]

Planetary defense should be done by players, not NPCs.

Planet Manhattan overrun by Outcasts dreads, three times a day. C:

And simply shoot them to bits with a counter raid later on.

NPC cap patrols in guard systems are just here for making it more difficult to raid those systems and protect them when players can't. And NPCs in home/guard systems should be strong. Otherwise many aspects of the game will lose their sense of being. And cap NPCs are IMO support for RPing, so don't touch them pls.

If you can't defeat them - welp, that's just how the cookie crumbles. It's PvP: Player verses player. A battle of skill against skill and tactics against tactics. It's dumb that infinite NPCs can have such a weighty impact encounters like that.

Even if you don't want to shoot something and simply want to talk, NPC gunboats rolling up towards your face make it so much harder to RP.
