I dunno, unless there are extremely large swarms of NPCs, they can be just easily thrown off by dodging and strafing. I am not snub-pro, but I managed to interact with players in snub well despite 2-6 hostile NPCs around.
FL space with harmless NPCs was just more boring and not immersive, because even harmless NPCs can influence fight by bumping ships or attracting mines.
