Missions bugged?

[Hustl3]

Hi me again,

Is it possible that there are even more bugs going on?
I just encountered all known Outcast bases cause i wanted to farm pilots and bring them to harrisburg station.
I spend 30 min straight in front of their mainbase and there were 2 pilots showing up and thats it.
What is happening?

NPCs reduce in numbers the higher the Player count is. When there are only 20-30 people on, there are plenty of NPCs.

Thx again for the quick answer, but why?
I mean i cannot do any quest and now i cannot fight npc, iam tired of trading/mining.
What am i supposed to do then?
