I agree that gallia is worse then Tau 23 , but come on , is a bit annoying in Tau 23 , OC NPC around you , you cannot stay and have a nice chat with smugler or whatever is in front of you , and if you want to start your Cruise engines , better forget it , by the time you reach the place where you are called , the fight could be ended long before you are there ...
I personally, dont enjoy NPC's. Why? They are window dressing, And furthermore, they dont RP. Its
"red is dead" that we are so keen to avoid. so, why increase NPC spawns?
