NPCs should respect NFZs

Mar 05, 2009 Antz link
Sometimes station sectors get camped by swarms of potentially hostile NPCs who shoot anyone they (don't) like with no regard for local sector standings. The stations do nothing about such blockades.

Can NPCs either not shoot near foreign stations, or get strikeforced and denied docking like everyone else when they do?

I like this idea. This would get rid of the leftover ctc bots. The usually go to the NFZ. If they fire on any player then the SF would take care of them and no player would have to lose faction for getting rid of them.

I love this idea, i hate that NPCs can kill us with no trouble.

Or just eliminate standing loss for ctc npc's....

I think this is a symptom of a larger problem though no? There are quite a few game mechanics such as this that have no affect on NPC's. For instance, bots in storms. They can see you. You can't see them. Not really fair.

Anyway, it would be nice to see NPC behaviour brought into line with the game mechanics sooner or later.
