NPCs

[Kontrazec (Somni)]

Even though I do support the npc removal scheme, I do agree Sirius without them would be a bland an unpleasant place. Now, I have an idea since the non-guard NPC's will get their CD's removed.

The beginner character ships could be a tad better, e.g. give the Rhino some formidable armor not to get lolraped by rheinland pirates (for example,kusari ones can be pretty nasty too)- also,the npc's could be modified to NEVER go hostile when hit by CD, since a CD does not count as an engagement inRP. Why should it for npc's? I've noticed an NPC goes hostile when you down its shield or a little before that. (not sure if it's a certain number of hits or a certain damage value) So, make the CD count as a normal shot to the AI, just something that hits for 200 damage, and make them re-engage cruise. Problem solved (mostly).
