A thing about these forums...
When someone points out something that could be improved in the mod, no matter how right he is, there will always be people who see his thread as an opportunity to post "lol you are cry baby who cant fight thats why you whine".
Its best to just ignore them and keep the constructive discussion up.
The problem you mentioned has been brought up countless times, to no avail so far, unfortunately.
I like it. But it's gonna be a lot of work for you. Sadly, although I'd like to help, I have no idea how. Besides, you'd need the devs ok. Might be hard.

Its gonna be a lot of work, but it will still be less work than all the times I'll have to face those NPCs ingame, and much much less for the other people who will have to do the same.
It's also less work to do that with a computer than to try to get any improvement -no matter how obvious- across in this communty if your post count aint right.
Main problem is I dont know where to turn and get the "green light" and the 86 system maps.
Basicly if you remove NPC's? their is no point in rep's,or rep ninja's anymore. After all,whoo will be shooting you? Just players right? And rules state all players need to go by ID. So get rid or NPC's,Tag's,reps,and then we can all just look at empty space when player count is low,and traders can fly through hostile space completely unmolested.
Oh yeah. May as well take weapons off the battleships,planets,and bases too,as they are also NPC's right?
This topic was a joke years ago,and 50 posts ago. Now it is just moronic,and pathetic. Give it a bloody rest already. Also look at who wants them gone. Only the newer players. Those who have no real time in Disco. Those who want to PvP not RP. Nuff said. Will a bloody mod,or admin close this useless thread already?
How you manage to continuously throw insults at everyone, and say nothing even remotely relevant at the same time is amazing. It really is. Now take your paranoia elsewhere.
I lol'd at ryoken's post. It is full of moronic statements. Many many players new and old think NPCs are annoying as sin. If this wasn't the case, you wouldn't see the development team removing CDs from NPCs.
Merely because someone has a different opinion than you doesn't make them stupid or pathetic. You saying it does makes you both of those.
@ topic
No thanks, I think removing the CD will reduce them to a level that is tolerable. Though your point about having a ton of them shooting when there are already a handful of players trying to have a fun furball stands. I think they add some excitement to the fight myself, but agree the sheer amount of them does cause lag at times.

well , off topic , i dont post much , but i am NOT only interested in pvp , thats just bullcrp
please don't go pointing fingers , and think for a moment ...
I have spoken to players who are quite happy to blast NPC trains away in their Ptrans & then the next day complain how these NPCs CDed them when they were on a trade run. Perspectives change on whether you are initiating action or reacting to it.
The arguments against NPCs on this (& many threads before it) are typically PvP based & I have often argued against them. I feel that removing NPCs will substantially reduce game atmosphere & in a RP game this can't be justified. I've played on a no NCP server & space was very empty.
At times they can be frustrating, but this game is a mixture of PvP & PvE and its upto the player to react according to circumstance. Admin are constantly tweaking stuff for game balance & to better the player's experience; I cannot see removing NPCs as high on the agenda.
On a final note - Lets keep away from the personal stuff
