Alright I've kinda had enough of the NPC's it's gotten to the point I can't RP without having to move and come back every 10-15 minutes. It's getting really annoying especially watching Liberty Cruiser fire at Zoner base for 30 minutes. Reason two why I'm kinda fed up with them is because I recently got my main RP vessel a "Modified" Prison Liner and it took me forever to leave the system I bought it in because FIGHTERS kept killing me... I mean there is a problem when NPC's take out 100K Shields in no time at all. Is there anyone else who agrees I mean NPC's are starting to bother my RP now... Now in my GB it's no problem I'll sit there and RP while 12 fighters shoot me but in a fighter or something else it's freaking annoying as hell.
Yeah, its a little ridicuolus. Its good for NPC farmers like me, sitting in my bretonia BS camping at stokes killing every Kusari BS squad that spawns every 0.25 seconds.
Its because there is so little people on the server at certain points.
This is how i think of it. There's 50 people on the server. Then youll have 150% more NPC's than would normally spawn.
i like the NPC's the little buggers are cool to have.. yea i deal with cruisers and sometimes get a GB support if the Navy dumb enough to follow me into the fields (some followed and found quick and painful death in middle of a cold field)

I've been hanging around New Tokyo a lot recently. I#ve found you can make decent amounts of money when the battleships crash into the planets.
Ya see, you've got to shoot a small hole in the hull that the crew can escape out of. Then you drop them off on New Tokyo, or with the Hogsha, and you get the reward for rescuing a Naval Officer.:P
Yeah I hate them at the Zoner base we all know the one...the one in Liberty.
It is rather repetitive but i didn't remember them this active before. But for real I'd don't like them. Yet...I do for farming purposes but I have the darnest time finding a Rogue GB.
It would be a nice to reduce the intervals of NPCs spawns

' Wrote:I don't mind cap patrols. They get rid of a worse problem. What I do mind is getting lane disrupted at least five times from Erie to Houston.
This. Travelling through trade lanes in House space is unbearable now. Kusari is terrible, just because you end up with five BD Dragons staring at you down the barrel of their guns. And if you stick around to fight, another wing'll spawn on top of em.
Why yesterday, I was in a Templar outside <strike>Trafalgar</strike> Southampton Shipyard, and I got into a fight was four Junker CSVs. Ever time I killed two of them, another four would jump in. Was unbelievable! I actually had to run away before I ate my own face out of frustration.

also the rade lane part. could it be reduced a bit?
Well if your hanging around Trafalgar your asking for that kind of spam. It's all generalised as base spawning the way I see it; more, more and more NPCs; good for some.
But that one lane, the old Ithaca - West Point Lane, jesus, whats the encounter probability on that thing? 85%?
I hereby publically demand, that the NPC spawning times and quantities were decreased -Immediately- By 75% on all types, varieties, levels and factions.
