NPC's are getting....

[pieguy259]

Guess we start by removing all dangerous NPCs from Omega-55 and replace them with easy-to-farm ships.

I think he meant a raiding party consisting of Wilde, not a party raiding the Wilde.

Here's a fun exercise. Join the SCRA, fly a Partisan, then try to get from Omega-52 to Honshu. Centurion swarms in Omega-5, Titans in Omega-41, Hammerheads (oh, so many Hammerheads, maybe ten at once) in Omicron Theta, PLUS the Titans. Oh yes, and there are no Coalition bases between 52 and Honshu, so enjoy having to start all over again every time you encounter a group of Hammerheads/Titans (which will be often).

NPCs do not roleplay. NPCs have exactly the kind of "red = dead" mentality we loathe in players. Claiming they add to roleplay is ridiculous to anyone who's had to deal with them on their way to a roleplay session. They. Are. Annoying. And with the "jump systems recharging" and cruise drain, guess what? If they CD you, you've got no hope of defending yourself till your power comes back. If you find a swarm of them on the other side of a jump hole, you're screwed, 'cause there's no way you're cruising away (they have CDs). There's no way you can kill them all, 'cause they just keep spawning. Well, you can always jump back, right? Ha! We laugh at your ignorance! Nope, you have to wait more than ten seconds to jump out, by which time the NPCs will have killed you, retrieved your pod, cut off your head and mounted it on their wall.

Get rid of their CDs outside Guard systems. At least.
