To the OP, in regard to your question work with an assertion and ask your self a few questions, and the answer about why this disaster was implemented becomes self evident.

1. If we consider PvE income as variable revenue source, and coupled with static revenue sources, they form the entire basis of all revenue sources in the game.
2. What happens to the value of a static revenue source as a tool / weapon / instrument of power when variable revenue drops and static revenue becomes a larger piece of the whole income pie?
3. Who controls the largest sources of static revenue in the game?
4. What areas of the game were most of the game designers recruited from?


5. Where is my tinfoil hat.

NPC AI is blech.

Does this make sense? I land in a pocket with a Myrmidon happily blazing away at the NPC's, and even though I am not even targetting the NPC's they switch aggro to me. Hrmmm...isn't that other ship blapping your buddies more of a concern, over the guy who isn't even targetting you? WTF...

And it gets better, the NPC's don't aggro me...no, they aggro my f#$ing *salvage drones*. Gosh yes, that Mrym thats been vaporizing your buds is of no consequence, there are SALVAGE DRONES ON THE FIELD!!!!

It is why NPCs must die.

Loss is meaningful. Therefore is the loss of meaning likewise meaningful. It is the source of all trolling.
