Quote:Altering your suggestion a bit, maybe staff could remove the guns from all NPCs for a week (and if possible remove capship missiles from planets too).
I can tell you exactly how that will go: OC BSs (and other pirate caps) will sit outside Manhattan and lulz away at traders with no consequences other than waiting for a gank squad of LN to finally show up.
These are not the kinds of "essential" RP encounters that Capital NPCs are ruining. If anything, they help prevent this kind of stuff, and rightly so.
No thank you.
If Traders are getting pirated right next to NPC bases, those traders must be pretty stupid to not try and dock, or make for an exit by going past the NPCs which have pulses.
And a counter-force of LN showing up is a good thing. Furthermore by being closer to a base such as Manhattan the encounter can happen much more quickly.
And as I said, if the force of LN lose well then they lose. No one is entitled to victory without effort.
