Too much NPCs

[Grumblesaur]

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.

You are missing the point. Those areas of major traffic are still mind-bogglingly massive. Just because those patrols are there does not mean the patrols will always be successful in protecting civilians, but the way house planets are discussed (and to an extent, the way their patrols are implemented), they almost always are successful at repelling, if not destroying, unsavory types.

I don't want to get rid of NPCs, but there's a problem with dropping so many NPCs in orbit of a planet. It diminishes or even eliminates that zone from the game's system of interaction. Where NPCs are able to do the job of players without player intervention, NPCs need to be nerfed.
