@Winkie: thats been suggested before and it's apparently impossible.
@Dab: As we have little to no idea what equipment those other servers are using thats not much of an example.
Mal does have a point though, sometimes you can't move near house capital planets due to the number of capship patrols trying to fly past it.
Reducing the number of NPC capship patrols would be as realistic as hiking the prices for player capships was, after all theres only a limited amount of resources and shipyards to built the ships.
Also, to make running into an NPC capship patrol extremely risky maybe we should double the escorts?
