NPC characters appearing in concourses relating to mission wrinkles / your history / actions

Concourses (IMO) need to be more dynamic and reflect your current standing better, as well as be able to bring a human dimension to your missions / activities.

By doing this you bring on foot areas closer to ship based actions.

Why not have NPCs turn up who berate you, offer you new work etc?

Someone at the turbolifts: "Why did you kill my family? I'm going to get you" NPC spawns a random attack in space due to you killing someone beforehand.

Shady guy 'down below' in the hangar turbolift area: "You are a cold one, I'll give you that. Fancy some more work? Go here [generates surface POI camp for a lucrative mission contact]"

Intimidating guy stood at concourse turbolift : "[Insert Power] Scum! We don't like your sort in our stations!"

Police officer walking about (based on your criminal record): "Keep your nose clean otherwise we'll take you down"

How about a Community Bulletin Board that has bounties and pics of the commanders. Might help me find targets... lol

I agree that a lot more could be done to make things more dynamic but the balance is crucial. No one wants to be accosted by multiple NPC's everytime they want to offload some legitimate pre-loved merchandise at the public bar

Indeed balance is crucial. The frequency could be achieved in many ways and use all the available space. I mean, why no NPCs at the hangar end of a turbolift? Here you could have a few mission givers, desperate passengers etc. Above you could have people in the bar muttering at you etc.

If that mess involves the guys fingerpointing at me for a legitimate assassination outcome, and the other guys threatening someone else for attacking the gang that ordered it, getting into a massive verbal barny followed by hardpoints in the next system then I'm in!

Shady guy down below could be like those "tip off" missions you sometimes get through comms

Screens in tourist settlements showing CQC (live, recorded? i dunno) something that gives a 'tourist' site a sort of touristy activity?
