More NPCs? You gotta be kiddin me...!

im pretty much a full time BPA officer on this server. i have to say that enforcing the Leeds embargo in a Hussar when you have 8 chimeara's TOTALLY raping you is impossible.

not only is it impossible to stop blockade Runners, its also impossible to Role Play with anybody nearby unless you dock on the Planet or the Battlship Derby and use system chat, which is annoying.

yea I understand Leeds is "under siege" but do the NPC's really need to be this numerous as well as this frequent?
what makes it worse is trying to kill 1 of those chimeara's in a hussar is a very long and arduous task with nothing to gain at the end

Actualy, when there on my BAF indie cruiser Ive had NPCs even drain my shields some before. They're all but guard NPCs.

My two cents, places like leeds that are 'under siege' should be like the calm in a storm. The area around the planet has minimal combat NPCs, but going away from the planet means more show up.

Gallia..... the multiple bomber patrols with high respawn rates are pretty annoying, that said adding the occasional NPC bomber in reasonable numbers thruout house space would make sense.

Using New York as an example: Badlands, give them the occasional LR fighter wing with a Barghest NPC. Around the lawful bases, the occasional patrol with a cupholder or two, with the area around Manhattan (or any house capital really) having a few bomber patrols (lets face it, sitting around a house capital planet is dangerous when yer hostile)


edit: also, is there a way to stop NPCs from pirating or inspecting in certain places ? For example my lib lawfuls seem to always end up red to Junkers because of junker NPCs demanding cargo, or my Zoner chars getting randomly told (usualy by BHG NPCs, sometimes BAF NPCs at FP1) to dump cargo while I'm still in the undock screen. For the Zoner issues simply removing said patrols from that general area would fix it of course.
