I suspect that part of the reason it's a 35% reduction/5% increase and not simply a 40% increase to undermining/acquisition merits is specifically to try to shake people out of doing reinforcing and into the other two activities.

With the exception of exobio/exploration (both of which are getting an increased merit reward rate in this patch anyway) and ship scans, all of the other reinforcement activities are also available in at least one of undermining or acquisition systems, so you don't necessarily have to change what you do, just where.

A 40% bonus on dropping settlement data before the tick from 50ly away makes everything even worse and can't defended since you can't collect reinforcement data without destroying your standings in your home system

What are you on about now? It's easy peasy to collect data for reinforcement, though not all types nor the power goods from chests count.

Trouble is: it's very unlikely they'll even make NPCS more difficult as there is always some one who will protest. They could have started with high difficulty, weathered the initial storm, then players will have eventually adapted as they normally do.

Or: they could start with twice the difficulty they deem proper, then "settle" for the proper difficulty after the massive biowaste tempest accompanied by heavy precipitation of salt on the social media has reached its two week mark. The tried and true negotiation technique😉 And any further concerns about NPC difficulty will be self regulated by the veterans going "Haha, ya whippersnappers have it easy! Back in my time..."

No panic. And the only scream allowable is "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!!" while boosting around in a red Cobra V fitted with CG rapid fire multicannons.

Been there.
Some time ago, Sarah Jane Avory, the MoM (mistress of minions) had pulled the stops. After the outcry, FD plugged them up again.
One set of NPCs has retained a bit more of the full capabilities. If you have enough notoriety (and, possibly, a galactic bounty), you may encounter them as "ATR".

I wonder what will happen to all the bio waste amassed?

Went into a black hole somewhere. Or it has silently become sentient, retreated into the depths of space and is now plotting out its revenge for people disrespecting it so much during the “Biowaste Everywhere” period of colonization, along with the trillions of limpets which have been discarded over the years.

Now isn’t that a horrifying image worse than Cthulhu himself?
