If we're going to augment NPC AI more, how about we get the Kusari Navy to stop committing seppuku and flying their battleships into planets? I really can't ignore that happening and it's rather hilarious to RP it.
Also, what are the rules for dying from "friendly fire" in a player-vs-player engagement? After Cryer starfleas fly across my reams of gunfire, I routinely get vaped by Dreadnaught fire because I don't notice it happening till the massive bolts come screaming at me. I treat it as a normal pvp death, but man, if it isn't irritating.
