NPCs

[Cyberanson]

Well, I have mixed feelings about NPCs. On the one hand I would really like to see them with more powers, to keep the realism going. The Nomad systems for example should ALWAYS inherit some Nomad NPCs, regardless how many players are online at this point of time.

On the other hand, I understand the player count - NPC balance somhow. The more players are online, the less NPCs should be around. I had more then one PvP encounter, which dropped odd, due to some random NPC spam. That was really annoying. So I would like to support the idea of NPCs spawning only at logical places, like lawfuls only near planets/stations/battleships and unlawfuls everywhere else.

If anything I think that all NPCs should be made to be the same level as the Rheinland NPCs.

Good enough to be a threat, not so go that they are an annoyance.

That directly affects my last statement, because in Rheinland you can see a very odd relation of NPCs. While you can blast away every bloody NPC as a lawful, you are in a small problem situation with a Hessian Thor with four Rheinland police Banshees against you. I am periodically going crazy, when I want to pirate and some small patrol of those ships appear. Just annoying.
