PETITION: Nerf NPCs

[ivr56]

Keep em as they are.
They are perfectly fine. I have no troubles defeating non Guard NPCs regardless of level.
Aside from Hostile Capital Ship NPCs :(
But they more challenging and fun and promote teamwork.

The only thing I hate about NPCs is the CD spam.

Take out the caps, otherwise get over it. If you're good enough for PvP, then don't gripe over computers flying the same patterns over and over.:dry:

I say keep them. If you're outsmarted by a machine, then I think the devs should apply for R&D positions at some lab. If you're outgunned by a machine, fly better. Frankly anybody who can't beat the NPCs almost deserves to get swarmed by two dozen of them - just to spite said person.

-Edit- Let me rephrase, take away the cap shields. I once took out 4 BH Dessies on an (old version) Talon with a full loadout of Nomad Cannons.

Last week I flew into Theta with my MK7 cap armored slave liner with full bats and bots. A group of 11 BHG spawned just outside the jump hole when I had arrived. I was unable to cruise away, and though I put up a fight my ship was destroyed. Since they were all armed with Train CD's I was unable to escape to the nearest base, Corfu which was a mere 20k away. That was a bit much.

I agree that in some of the outer systems NPC's should be threatening, so its not how powerful they are that bugs me. Its the fact that I cannot escape them. In a 'public' system, I feel that train CD's are too powerful. If there is to be a petition it should be to keep the TRain CD's on Gaurd NPC's only.

No longer a slave to the man!

I, Boss, Master of Spam and away-yet-not-away, sign this petition.

Though I do like the challenge of fifteen Titans against my Nommie Morph. /sarcasm

Seriously...When a MR just....barely...doesn't kill the shield, it gets old fast. They haven't killed me yet, but it's still annoying as hell.

Just go play the game and have fun dammit.

all in all the conclusion is that disco doesn't need antagonist factions, it doesn't need phantoms, it doesn't need nomads, it doesn't need coalition and it doesn't need many other things, no AIs, the game is hijacked by morons to confuse the game with their dickwaving generic competition games mixed up with troll-of-the-day.

[Unseelie]

Add to what Nexus said, in response to Magoo, 3 NPCs completely halt my train/Ctrans/Whalener. I have to kill them all. In the train? it takes upwards of twenty minutes. This is ridiculous.

Is this a RP server or a "test your skills against the NPCs" server? Some people just plain stink at fighting, but love the RP. I'm one of them.

One might argue that maybe you shouldn't trade, but that would be unfair because I simply detest the idea and think its a lazy way to make money. I either merc or scrap old ships to buy new ones.

Shall I extend my request for reform to not giving them Train CDs?

Exactly. This is a RP server, so essentially infecting the entire population of Sirius with some disease that inhibits motor functions and rational thought is absurd. Just because they're NPCs doesn't mean they should be considered less than players. RP speaking, of course.

Guard systems need them. Badly. Other places...not so much.
