Which is?
Populating the game environment. They're the background scenery that stops the game feeling entirely dead when you don't encounter a single player during a 40 minute trade run.
Yea they're pretty cool to look at especially when they're spamming pulse/razors in your face.
I think if you have to fly for 40 minutes for a single trade run your doing it wrong.

You should raid with me sometime and then I'll ask if you have the same opinion : )

I mean NPC's are a vitally necessary thing, what, you want to think theres nothing but special snowflakes out there in the stars? No sunshine, theres ordinary peole out flying. NPC's make up a representation of how Sirius is run, pirates to disrupt lanes, Traders to haul Sirius's goods, escorts, freelancers, mercenaries. They're the humming background noise of discovery, and it makes the game just dead if you emove them, and maybe you should just take damn fights off npc paths or maybe just rp a bit more instead of worrying about losing the fight cause npc's are against you as well. It's their role in that backgroud to shoot you cause they belong to the same organization the players fighting you are.

I do take fights off the plane and patrols of NPCs that fight in mu was 20k below the plane and 30k ish from taba.
The fight in delta was 25 k above the plane and away from FP 11. Sadly base huggers make this difficult. RP a bit more lol, I'll send you some logs of 35 minute life discussions with FLs on my GRN, while being shot the whole time by npc gbs.
excellent, also, im not really interested in /maximum profits/. especially since Planetform don't carry ore, though that does remind me to make a thread about something. thanks xd.
