NPCs and the NFZ - DarthCloakedGuy - 12-11-2009
Have you ever docked from a Freeport only to find an NPC ganksquad waiting for you every time you undock? You want to RP with the local Zoner there, but your shields are dropping fast, and to return fire on the NPCs would be to violate the NFZ.
Is there any way to make NPCs behave Neutrally while at Freeports, or maybe just remove all non-Zoner NPCs within a Freeport NFZ?

Would a Zoner really yell at you for killing NPCs? They just get in the way in some RP-areas, like this one.
While this would be fixable by removing the patrol paths from around every Zoner Freeport, I'm pretty sure that that would be more work than it's worth.

I have been told by a Zoner that shooting at NPCs counts as breaking the NFZ.

Well, if you're in anything smaller than a transport, you can always
/stuck yourself inside one of the hangers, cause I doubt that if the Zoner wants to RP with you, they're going to get mad at you for avoiding the NPCs.

NFZs around freeports are entirely player made thing! Yes they are based on in game news/rumor but that's about it.
Threads like this explain why there are people reporting others for braking rules for firing in the zones....
Being player-enforced and voluntary as they are, it's again entirely up to players what they do/don't do with them.

' Wrote:I have been told by a Zoner that shooting at NPCs counts as breaking the NFZ.Nope.
Most Zoners will either ignore it or go along with the rule that the person who started the fight may be blasted by anyone. In this case, the NPCs started the fight.

It would be classed as self defense.

If the NPCs aren't a threat to you (say, you in a cruiser getting shot by level 3 Starfliers) and you start shooting them, Zoners will get upset.
If the NPCs are a threat to you, we'll ignore you shooting them, or call it as self-defense, you shooting them because they shot you.

Well, there are Cruiser patrols outside Bethlehem. Lethal to any unlawful fighters.

We occassionally run into issues out in Delta, where those level 17 and 18 Titans ARE a threat to a battlecruiser. And if I'm in something smaller, I have a real quick tendency to dock and continue to RP from inside the hanger of FP11.
