Too much NPCs

[Archaetherial]

I made no such assumption, Grumblesaur, so if you think you're seeing one there - you are mistaken.

I don't think every cubic kilometre of space should be constantly patrolled by law enforcement. But the areas of major traffic and around planetary docking rings certainly should be.

Freelancer's preposterous scale is an entirely different topic. I see no problem in discussing it in detail in a separate thread if you so desire.

I never said they're there to catch every smuggler or pirate, but if they do catch one then I certainly see no problem with that and I don't understand how some people find that to be a reason to complain about NPCs.

Also, while we're at the topic of smuggling, I think planets should have a backdoor of sort for smugglers. Some atmospheric entry point at the other side of the planet to allow smugglers to dock and unload the cargo unnoticed by the police.

And to backtrack to what Lythrilux was saying, I didn't know that. But if it's so, then I think it is done wrongly. Crete should have a very powerful defense and so should House capitals. And space stations should act as area denial to hostile vessels
