npc spawning distances

[Epo]

If I remember well, the distance where NPC spawn is defined by FL mechanics and can't be changed. I can be wrong tho. The only way to avoid it is decreasing cap range to 2k or below, which isn't a good idea for sure.
Or removing cap patrols at all, which could be a better idea... But still not the most neat if you ask me

EDIT:

It is even worse when you fly with transport ( smuggler or law ) in un-friendly space ( sometimes you are just force to go in to unfriendly/hostile space , and sometimes system is not hostile , but there are hostile patrols in system ) , and couple of gunboats spawn around you .

Naaah, sentinel cm + cms on auto + buying CMs on the closest docking facility worked fine with me. Sentinel is the toy I love. 170 CMs could help you to fly across the hostile space and dock at the nearest base. You know, a bit of risk
