Civilian NPC's

[Fletcher]

I agree with this. Look at it this way, most people don't own airplanes. When they want to go somewhere they buy a ticket and fly coach if they are average and first class if they have moolah. True, there are some jet-setters who own and/or pilot their own aircraft but I think they are a small enough minority that the number of real players fill in that hole (i.e. Freelancers, independent traders and explorers)

This is all well and true. But I think that analogy looks at the world of today. In Freelancer this is around a thousand or so years ahead. (Correct me if I'm wrong)

But as you said the few jet setters are freelancers, traders or explorers. Very true, but not all civilians dream of flying across the horizon and beyond, or intend to trade. They may just want to get to one place to another on their own steam without being crammed into a passenger liner, or something similar.

Its just that civilians need to start somewhere and seeing a few small civilian ships flying around would add to the 'free' universe. Especially in Liberty since they seem to be making so much money.

Maybe this could spark some new civilian ships to each house? Who knows, I think its a bit too late to start drawing them up for the next mod version. Maybe the next one eh?:laugh:
