We have NPCs flying ships. What about NPCs driving SRVs?

It would make settlements more lively, and would open up more gameplay opportunities:

NPC SRVs could give you missions planetside.

Assassination missions could be offered where a NPC SRV driver is the target. Either you kill them yourself, or once they reach their destination (say a POI), you could paint the NPC as a target - at which point the faction that offered you the mission drop in with ships and obliterates the target from orbit while you eat popcorn!

NPCs could be followed to POIs. Once there you could try nicking any cargo they scoop, for once we get to say "big haul of 2 tons you've got there, blah blah."

NPCs could challenge you to races ("I've put the finish marker as a navpoint on your scanner, ready, set, GO!!"). Win and you get credits, lose and you lose credits which goto the NPC. For fun, add land-mines. [big grin]

Even if NPC's would be able to drive SRV's...what do they want on the surface?? How high is the chance too meet someone statistically? I guess they all wanna just the same, your cargo, your death, see you suffering ._.

The only NPC i wanna have driving a SRV is my NPC Crew-Mate! Giving him tasks for groundbase assault or support me with firepower etc....
Or fighting the ships while i do the assault on ground.

This would be amazing


Edit:
Or i leave him at the ground, give him the task to collect specific mats for me and when i come to catch him after a while, he give me some mats (depending on the % of the mat on surface) and maybe....maybe he find some great stuff during this where i can decide if i wanna have it or if he should leave it on ground (our RNG loving Dev's would be glad to make this)

They should get rid of the god-aiming that NPC ships have where they can inexplicably shoot your SRV from orbit. Instead, if an NPC ship wants to hunt you down while you are in your SRV, they should deploy their own SRVs and there can be a fun offroad chase or something.

Ahh man. I might actually use the little golf carts if high-speed chases were in the game. I suppose they are in the game, I just have to find someone willing to chase me around in a moon buggy. Which is.... A weird conversation to begin.

They would probably have hard time making the npc AI driving work mostly bug free on the generated terrain, but would be cool with stuff like that. Like a mission escorting other land vehicles while it drives to a destination

We do find the occasional trashed SRV, so they must have been driving them at one point! But yes, would be fun to be able to meet NPC SRVs.
