RE: Removing missiles and mines from NPC - Vredes - 09-30-2014
Well duh, going into hostile zones and you get swarmed. Where is the lack of sense in that?

At the very least I'd suggest that NPC spawning should be turned off when Player Count > 30

I'd at least do some NPC loot gathering like nomad stuff.
Having no NPCs just means empty space that isnt animated. I would get boring.
the damage amount now is fine for us to ignore them.
What is needed now is just for them to stop interrupting TL with mines and missiles. Thats it.
Also I'd miss the GB and Dread spawns when smuggling or pirating.

Those hostile zones are made hostile by the players in them, because we are playing a multiplayer game. In addition, 9/10 factions spend 99% of their activity in hostile territory. Why should they be forced to constantly defend themselves from irritating NPCs? How do you expect people to roleplay properly if they have to constantly fly circles or shoot back at NPCs?
NPCs with damaging weapons are really nothing but an annoyance. Although currently, they're really not a big deal. They can be irritating in duels, sometimes, if there's so many that they suppress your shield regen and you have to fight an uphill battle. Any fight larger than a duel, they tend to have little to no meaning whatsoever.

Reduce NPC count, increase their firepower, remove mines as they are annoying for both oposing players and like I said friendly fire.

On the subject of Nomad NPCs, Nom material farming is getting removed next update in place of another method to gather materials to build cloaks etc.
