Oh, little, clueless NPCs.
Here I am, hundreds of LY away from the nearest outpost and you keep spawning. Fine by me, you probably want to see the vastness and the greatness of the Galaxy you live in.
I also do that. You see, I'm an explorer, I scan systems for a living.
But you also interdict me. Oh, little NPCs, you really interdict me a lot. And I almost always manage to evade. I'm asking to myself: why bother to interdict an explorer? Maybe you hold a grudge with me. Wait, I know, I know: back in '200, your grandparents were Police officers. I remember back then, I had fun shooting at an outpost from behind and watch all that little Police Vipers explode by the dozens against the station walls or the planet surface. I laughed and laughed and laughed. The fireworks they put on!
And yet they outsmarted you. Because you see, sometimes I can't evade the interdiction. And you tell me to drop my cargo. I haven't any cargo, you little dumb*** NPC , I don't even have a cargo rack. So you shoot me. But you fly in an Eagle and I fly in a pimped Cobra. I don't even shoot back, I outrun you like a cheetah outruns a sloth.
And so, back to the point: why NPCs interdicts people who can't drop anything and who can only run away or blow them up in 3.2 seconds? Does the AI need to be reworked a little bit?
