Tone down the NPCs

[Agmen of Eladesor]

Since this is the thread for this, rather than starting another one, can I ask one simple thing?

Can the NPC's please STOP shooting from beyond your visual range?

You know what I mean - the cap ships have weapons that reach 3k or further. But NPC's don't show up on your scanners until you're at 2.5k from them. I was just cruising along having some RP with a guy in Delta earlier this week, in my battlecruiser - and suddenly I'm watching my shields just crumble. Then I got CD'd by the fighter escorts of that Osiris that shot me without me even being able to see it. And then a second Osiris patrol spawned, and I just went away...

Like the other guys say that have RP reasons to be out in the boondocks - you get two patrols of npc fighters on you, and you're screwed.

Definetly! And that 3 cruise disruptor thingy is either bugged or there is something wrong with the numbers because I got disrupted 14 times! in Alaska from the SAME fighter wing. 14 times. not 3, not 5, not 10, 14.

What happened after 14? I died.

I guess Order|Tovig.Kelt was on group chat when that happened, i sent him a message everytime it happened, so he is partially a witness to it.

/signed so many times.

Makes grinding up new characters via missions extremely hard. Take my new Order character - Nepethys, and I have to use Fury 5's because the Order doesn't like me enough to use Death's Hands / Reapers. I get decimated by Bounty Hunters in large numbers.

That's true. I agreed with all the complains about NPC too strongs, the CD thing is really annoying in a RP server. It should be removed.

Just one additional comment:

My freelancer flies in an Orca for 'safety'. I was doing an escort mission, hauling a couple of scientists around to check out Gallia. Sure, I'm red with the GRN, so I stay away from them if possible. I undocked from one of the Council stations up in Champagne. 3 GRN npc bombers had me dead (dock-killed) before I even knew they were out there.

So can I report the GRN for dock-killing? Or for them firing whatever the hell they have multiple times before I even knew I was under attack? :P Seriously - I'm in a gunboat, with cap IV armor. There's no way in hell I should've died that quickly if they weren't buffed beyond belief. I think what ticks me off the mst is that I lost my scientists, lost the cargos I was carrying for them, and now my RP story is shot to hell because of the NPC's.

Ok, after I wandered around in Omicrons, I say we should have those UBER NPCs we have only to spawn in guard spaces and have the lesser ones in normal spaces. We had another RP kill of NPCs happened in Minor today as well.

OK,this thing with npc's in Omicron systems has gone to far.They ruin every possible RP.They spawm like crazy in 10 sec it's like 20 if them.They cd'ed me 7 times,I have to spend all batteries and half on nanobots,so when it comes to a fight I am in lack of everything.
They are to strong,they have to much CD'es,and I hate them.:angry:

That would be all from me.
