I would prefer buffing. It's doable and doesn't take too much effort. Liberty aint a starting system anymore. And if the beginners find it troublesome they should come to the forums and read up on the /restart command. Or learn to dodge.
actually, after looking at the other /restart starting zones, i dont see why you cant set liberty up with the same difficulty..
as far as increasing patroles, that seems like a silly idea too, esp for alaska- theres a base for the order out there, that no ships would be able to go to let alone find with a million npc's on u. one thing i've noticed, if theres one player in an area, ALL npc's hostile attack the player, and ignore other npc's. trust me, you dont wanna increase patroles in area's like that- however, in key area's, a patrol or npc spawn decrease would def be beneficial.
only problem i've had is as a pirate in liberty space, stop at a free port, come out and gettin gunned by 2 gunboats and a battle ship, and a number of fighters, and spa and cruise ships all at once- all hitting the base and causing the zoners to engage them.. which is funny.. but all hostile npc's are still engaging and targetlocking me even if i go back in xD
though, i dont know if its possible to take patrol locations from around freeports like that, and even then, it still seems to make sense to have them there. oh well- zoner vs liberty is always entertaining.
EDIT: forgot to mention, increasing order patrole to encounter nomads is borderline.. well. lets say it wouldnt help enough- the order seem to have an really short "agro" range in comparison to liberty fighters. i've had a patrol less than 2k meters from me pass me while i'm being shot at by nomads. the only real problem is that the npc's all target the player rather than locking on to the patrols attacking them.
