Srsly nerf some npc's ?

[Cat]

Well about the gallia NPC it more seems that they are buggy or so. But I cannot say for myself, I just entered one Gallia system for exploration, and YES, the GRN are pain in the **rse. But, about the NPC in the Omegas, Omicrons, Sigmas etc. etc. ...Why shouldn`t they be as strong as they are? I presonally even think, that most NPC in the house systemy maybe a bit to weak.
I am pretty new to discovery and I enjoy the fact, that NPc use shield batterys and nanos...and that they seems to act much smarter than the npc in the original game (far better dogging).
I don`t really see a problem there, As Rp guy you can see it like that: NPC are living beings aswell, and the shouldn`t be doomed to act stupid and slow. See it as challenge. you ofc don`t need to RP convo with NPC (lol), but infact, no NPC ever gets as good as a real player, but the closer it comes to that, the more realistic in my eyes.
And for the traders: You can get a bunch of profits out there if you trade for example in the Omicrons. I think for that profit you earn some risk to get it, eh?;)

These requests to nerf NPC have a reason. E.g., Gallia: yes, for the Sirians that NPC-fest it's quite in-RP, since the Royal Navy officers are to remove Sirian intruders. But consider Gallic players too: they have to talk to each other, fight each other, etc, while being faced with a constant risk of getting SNACed. Sometimes the NPCs break fair-play (e.g.: a rebel is fighting a Royalist, then suddenly a bunch of Maquis NPCs show up=>the duel is no longer fair=>people have to move away from the NPCs=>a bit of necessary OORP for the sake of fair play; and you can't be sure that at the new location the GRN NPCs won't show up).

As for buffing NPCs... First of all, think about Police factions. It can be quite annoying for them, since it's hard (or takes some time) to kill NPC VHFs.

Secondly, you said that yourself

it is a game to interact with other players

I gave you the examples of NPCs messing with player interactions. I doubt we'll see anything but Q_Q if we add bomber patrols to all houses.

I'm not whinig about it, Gallia is still one of the most interesting places in the mod. This post was here just to show you what the other point of view is.
