PETITION: Nerf NPCs

[pieguy259]

It takes maximum 3 salvos to kill an NPC titan in a BHG Destroyer with Primaries....

Well, talk to Derk, he brought it up and I added it.

Exactly which NPCs (faction) and where. Else even if 95% of Discovery signs this petition, it will be useless.

All NPCs, everywhere.

Only place I can see this happening is Omicron Gamma or Delta, even there the "top" number is about 12.

Again, talk to Derk.

Ok got it, Grenoble depot has too many GRN NPCs, will check them out, thanks.

Welcome.

This is not very concrete....afaik a transport is not in "danger" from NPCs as long as it follows TLs. Even in gallia it has weapon platforms to protect him.

All I know is, I was gang-raped by a pack of Bundies, LWB, Unioners and Hessians from the Bonn Station -> Stuttgart JG lane. They shot the crap out of my shield, rammed the living daylights out of my ship sending it all topsy-turvy, and generally made me want to smash their cockpit windshields in with a hammer.

This part is exactly the same as in vanilla, only that they use bats/bots ever now and then. Maybe a reason why there are ton of other "starter" ship in pennsylvania?

Maybe someone's setting up and doesn't want the bother of picking the right ship to go down one tradelane.

TO me they add to RP. If I park my Kusari dessie above Leeds, I could laugh at BAF fighters/bombers forever if they don't get proper numbers. Now I have to be very careful that the BS patrols wont blast me. Similar examples are found ton of other places.

Suppose, then, you're parked in your Kusari dessie above Leeds, having some enjoyable banter with a BAF, when a BS patrol comes and blasts you to Kingdom Come. That's a RP-killer if ever there was one.

NPCs are not "background" either. As global said it wasn't really nice "RP" and helped "enjoyment" if you saw BHG BS in front of Crete and 15 titans couldn't even move its shield.

This is why we have base defences now.

If you think they are "equal" to players... then you must have been meeting some very bad players recently.

That's a problem yes, over the past few days I have seen the most useless pilots fly caps or other ship in relatively "hard" locations.

Y'know, some of us are actually not very good pilots. I, personally, stink. You cannot determine the difficulty of NPCs based on the best pilots on the server, because then those of us who enjoy RP but are terrible fighters will suffer.

"Difficulty" of different areas of sirius is split into different steps and has been so since vanilla. There's always a rather large area for anyone to play in.

Fine. Then nerf the NPCs, keeping the relative difficulties.
