Oh WHAAAAA.... Why not just remove npcs altogether? Seems like thats what ye aiming at. they are silly as it is. about he same as asteroids flying about. Wow so nice to play in a large empty universe. Kricky put some bite into some of them.. or remove some of the random patrols and such. the potential of npcs is large and seems to be totaly ignored here. they should be more than just window dressing... Just my own small opinion. fer what ever its worth ..
