So we got rid of Guard IDs..

[Corsair]

Marburg, this is a game. I don't want to work hours upon tedious hours for the sake of getting a ship. And you're forgetting that to get these ships you need to trade. Trading is yet another tedious, lengthy task that I accept as a necessary evil. But then forcing players to grind for yet MORE hours against mind-numbingly frustrating laggy NPCs is beyond cruel. I have never once said to myself 'Gee, I sure do love shooting at twitchy NPCs for hours upon hours. This is definitely validating my desire to have a gunship. I approve of this.'

And I'm going to point out once again that mission dropping and double bribing took just as long as the actual mission grinding.
