Powerplay Missing Enemy NPCs

[Phoenix_Dfire]

Hi Folks,

Is it just me or are there less enemy NPCs in Control systems these days? I used to get interdictected at least once every couple of fortification runs, even deep in Empire territory. One of the reasons that I joined powerplay was to get more interdictions and NPC combat (Heck, I even fly in open so any opposing player is welcome to have a pop too). I haven't been interdicted once by a NPC in months.

Has anyone else noted this? Or do I need to make more fortification runs along border systems? Do I need to carry more than a certain amount of (Name your fortification goods here).

One way to have better chances to see enemy players is to run forts where you see systems being undermined (where you see "under threat" in the powerplay screens)... but depending on powers, most of times enemies just hang/camp in capital systems as traffic is usually higher. Traffic intensifies under specific states (expansions -> where the expansion target is & turmoils -> very likely the capital).

On the other hand, for +% to be interdicted by NPCs is to undermine your enemy power and don't get rid of the bounty (as I do until some one claims it).
