I visited this morning with my Clipper for my 10% refund on modules and saw not one, zero, nada, zilch humanoids.
I then jumped to Aulin and i Bootis is search of gimballed C3 beam lasers.......Not a single humanoid whatsoever.
I resorted to doing cartwheels around the sun, scooping 100 kg a time in order to draw out scooping duties........nada, nothing, zilch homo sapiens. Ambled down to Suyarang feeling pretty damned lonely at this stage - nothing!
Open play seems overrated - if it was not for NPC's even the tumbleweeds would have struggled to populate Founders World I tell you.
