NPC bumping

[Connor]

Or if Disco/Freelancer can handle it (not sure) have a way for NPC's to make a path around the player.

This topic has been brought up before and this was pretty much the answer.

Since Freelancer has been coded to think every player is the size of a snub vessel they will use that size to avoid you. Hence why the always hit you in larger ships.

It is very possible to code it so npcs can avoid larger ships but for that you need the ai source code and apparently Microsoft doesn't want to give it out.

Though Freelancer Tides of War have got a work around to this but they're not willing to share.

At least that was the case a while ago. Whether or not the devs have the source code for freelancer now I don't know.
