Tell me your opinion. I think royal navy and council NPCs should't not have SNAC, its suicide to fight with them, and what if there will be some event and they show up... i remember when i setting char and i was destroyed, after taked down shields, they have preaty nice aim with SNAC isn't ?
No, it is very easy to dodge them, i have done missions against 4 union corse bombers in a freighter. Their aim is so bad that they are only effective agaisnt caps.
As Montezuma said, the NPCs are practically idiots with the SNAC. The only time they should conceivably hit you is if you're flying straight at them or are in something bigger than a gunboat.
I will agree, however, that the missions like to spam tons of NPCs. This also isn't much of a problem if you can pull off some fancy flying or have backup. It does get annoying when the NPC gunboats like to randomly spawn.
Maybe some day, they'll see a hero is just a man who knowshe's free.
