Hiding from robots... We remember the toasters, and you're a toaster!
Personally, my BPA is kinda waiting for something, and you'll see soon enough about that. Corsairs are the most common hostiles. And you can sometimes call on help from Mollys to take down corsairs, as they hate 'em. Something about bombing their planet...:P
Coming from Liberty, you might just be used to the stupid amount of people that stay there, and not used to the activity the rest of the server gets. Odd about the BAF though, I've not been online when there's less that 3 of 'em. Most seem to wait for an emergency call it seems.
Edit: @Lindburg, we'd have poisoned ourselves before they ate us. So if they're alive, so are we XP
