Make NPCs disrupt tradelanes less

[Marlene_Humperdink]

Can't imagine I'm the first person who asks for this. They did it less in .84
Its just annoying... no use in it either. And most of the time the npcs that stop you arent even hostile.

Before I can decide, I have to know if the lane down-time was increased or not.

i think they should be able to drop the lanes. just that they do it way too much when theres not many people on the server.

No, you aren't the first one.

And it forces you to focus on the game and not to alt-tab.

Yes it was, although pirate NPCs which are not disrupting trade lanes is only good for PvP servers i think. This server is more focused on RP rather than PvP, so i think this wont happen.

You can't RP with an NPC. They will either shoot you, or wander off. Sometimes the former then the latter.

In my opinion, the economy's been staggered enough (profits down, "taxes" unchanged, more runaround)

If I knew the grind would get increased so much I'd have just diamond/noob'd a billion and been done with it. But no- I had to be "legitimate."

Err, the lanes. Yes, pointless NPC disruption is... pointless. It only serves as an irritant. And frankly, I'm irritated enough which may help explain why I'm not around much.

You know, if trade lane disruptions are so annoying... Then why not cut off every NPC in game huh? i have pirate chars, which are being atacked by NPCs when i am fighting someone.It is also annoying..
If this happens, why should be NPCs in game at all?

NPCs are useless and annoying in the Omicrons. Should they be removed?

In my humble opinion of a man who traverses the trade lanes quite a bit i am irritated by this constant trade lane disruption, especially when just pirated by a non-npc and the npc turns out to be neutural or even friendly, it frankly kicks me when im down.

We have enough pirates as it is without these gnats niping at my ship's shields taking me some time before i get to the next trade lane.

If these were disabled perhaps more people would trade, the economy would boost and everyones happy.

Come on guys, without NPCs, we're going to have to rely on non-speaking indies to unbalance group fights. I'm not sure they're up to the task!
