NPC's are getting....

[Tenacity]

Other than the obvious 'major threats' like nomad/wilde/phantom/coalition npc's, I think that NPC's throughout sirius need to be weakened, need to have their spawn rates drastically lowered, and need to have their cruise disruptors removed.

Guard system NPC's should probably be buffed all around, and they should be the only ones with cruise disruptors equipped - train cd's at that.

Myself and a couple other players were online with our keeper characters tonight, actually managed to get some decent RP out of a bypassing capship, but we were struggling with constantly respawning groups of zoner and bounty hunter npc's the entire time. BHG Manta's and Zoner Eagles, spawning in groups of 4, spamming cruise disruptors, and a second group spawns before you even finish the first... if we neglected the npc's for even a minute, they would overwhelm and outnumber us. That kind of thing needs to go - NPC's may add life to the galaxy, but they should never interfere with a roleplay situation when outside of a guard system.
