NPC population control

[Tenacity]

Thanks for the support, boss.

I only really notice this problem on my order character because my others are nuetral to the faction npc's that do this sort of thing... but I can see it being an issue for a lot of people.

Having BH ships swarm your home planet, firing off cruise disruptors like madmen, is not fun. Hell, the bounty hunter npcs shouldnt even BE in these systems, especially not in the numbers they're spawning in. When I undock from toledo and see 15 bounty hunter hammerheads and a couple destroyers... while battleship Isis is sitting there completely ineffective in destroying them... it gets extremely frustrating.

Perhaps putting a 25-30k zone around home planets where hostile NPC's wont randomly spawn (mission npc's would be able to, though) would fix the problem. Primarily I see this being needed at crete, malta, and toledo, as those are the only real 'unlawful' planets where the npcs are an issue.

It might be more difficult than it's worth for the developers... i dont know. I would assume there's some kind of simple setting in each system for hostile NPC spawn frequency, if not it'd probably have to be an alteration of patrol paths which I hear is a pain in the butt.
