Its the other way around cap. I've played here for 8 years with all of these problems and never complained about anything but NPC's blocking jumpholes and jumpgates, which has been fixed. I don't like flipping caps either but its probably better to make them heavy again. I don't care if people want to duel in the live environment, go to Conn, you can duel there all you like without npc's bothering you. Again, if you have trouble attacking people that are seeking the safety of a friendly or allied base, at that base, and have problems caused by their allied NPC's, that is also a selfish reason to remove NPC's. Its bad form to attack at a base like that, but if you do, you take what risks come with it. I've played with NPC trade lane disruptions for years as well. It causes random change. It slows people down sometimes. That causes random interactions. You can randomly come across someone just because a lane changed their timing. Or it could save you a bad encounter by a few seconds. But I suppose that point is the least important use of npc's. Most of the time players gather enough to have big player battles, npc's are gone anyways.

Ok here's a SUGGESTION I know I shouldn't make but I will just to prove a point. Something that popped in my head years ago was that it would be sweet if we had a base we could FLY INSIDE of to hang out safely. Like a big cube like the prison models, but hollow it and put a round dock port on it like the asteroid bases, with the opening hatches. Just make it so anyone neutral or better could hit dock, and the doors could open up for a few seconds, enough for a snub/freighter to fly inside and be safe. Then it just requires hitting the dock button to open the doors again and leave. Put turrets on it so no baddies can sneak in...but you never know when a cloak may come in handy. I suppose they could put an npc cloak disruptor on them if they wanted to. There, now even unlawfuls could try to get inside, even cloaked, and try to sit there while rp'ing. They might get caught though, wouldn't want to get trapped inside! There, whole new aspect of the game invented. (had that idea from Barrier gate station, because the doors on the hatches open long enough to fly up inside and let yourself be trapped inside the cylinder part, which is cool. You can then just dock or wait for the next npc to launch. I figure, wouldn't it be cool if we had an enclosed corale to just sit and chill at in safety?)
