I might not have thought this through fully but the more I think about it the more I really LOVE this idea.

1. You are able to sign up as NPC Belt Rat.
Depending on the region, you are automatically assigned to a belt who needs a rat (rat spawns).

2. You will find yourself in a ship roughly equivalent to your skill.
And in a situation where you face scavengers, looters, explorers... carebears....

3. Now you can attack the same way the rats do. At least you can try.

I think faction standings and/or a slight speed up for learning could be a cool bonus for playing a smarter belt rat.

No kill mail etc.... just fun training with the rat boats...

What do you think?

This would be especially nice if I could pretend to be in NpC as well. A whole new level of role-playing

Does it give you a generic NPC ship as well? Because this could be interesting if done in anoms or something too for groups of players. Be harder to balance though.

What would the player get for defeating this human "npc"? What if anything does the player "npc" get out of this other then random spawning in random belts?

The NPE IS a big deal
