6) What do you think about complete disabling of NPC shield and hull repairs? Decrease of NPC ship strength will be compensated with better shields and reinforced hull where necessary.

Not necessary, they are pretty easy to kill with a standart Lvl 9-10 Setup that you can get after earning a descent amount (like level 30)

7) Which areas of Sirius have too many NPCs? Specify exact locations you are observing in the current mod version.

Omicrons sometimes get 10+ NPC's while in PvP. Omicrons (Kappa, Delta, Minor)

10) What is your attitude to possible inflation of credit cards that would prevent cheating with those?

Never used them so far.

11) What do you think about decreasing all prices 10 times so that 2 billion credit limit actually becomes 10 times larger?

Not necessary for a fighter pilot like me.

12) What should be done about Nova cannon and other bomber weaponry?

They are good. We can drop the agility of Bombers a bit more to balance them. Bombers need to be slow machines, a fighter in real life, can get a bomber anywhere, anytime. So, bombers should also need fighter protection. Like Tie Bombers being sissies, while not being escorted by Interceptors (or Wing Commander games etc can be other examples).

Or we can add UBER battleships (like super star destroyer kind of) so that something BIGGER than 4 bombers can take will exist. Only 1 per faction perhaps (RP fittin) or only admin given...

13) How would you suggest to balance the missiles for fighters, gunboats, cruisers, and battleships? Note that refire rates for most missiles will be lowered anyway, since missiles are known to be a source of server lag (multiple moving objects).

Missles can be a bit harder to evade so that a player wouldn't need to span 40 missiles to hit an evasive player. Come on now, 40 missles and a fighter can evade all without countremeasure is a bit ... out of the picture for me. So 1 missle hits, or at least harder to evade. We can balance the spam anyway option by reducing the refire rate significantly.

14) What new IDs would you suggest to add? What ID changes you consider necessary?

ID's with rank maybe? for Military factions to make it easier to identify. Though we need them to be distributed with control or everyone would go for an admiral id for sure... Have to think on this
