any plans on bringing burners to npc null?


They have always been available from all level 4 security agents, including the ones in NPC null.



Be kinda cool to have Burner Frigate NPCs in Hi, Burner Cruisers in Lo, and Burner Battleships in Null. Only time will tell...


There's no reason to segment the content that way to be honest. We want people to be able to enjoy a variety of content in all areas of space.

Could be interesting to add some Empire & CONCORD NPC's for burner missions from the Pirate factions, or even some of the Empire ones. I would love to murder some elite Federation NPC's. :D

All the Burners are independent operators, but the new set of Burner missions in Oceanus includes one that sends you against a former Federation Navy crack commando unit that has gone rogue.

However, a modification of that idea by adding Burner Cruisers or Battleships to Level 5 mission pool could be more viable in my opinion.

Workarounds are not bugfixes.

Why can't I (directly) support these people in their decision to go rogue?

Just asking questions here...

refuse the mission and/or gank the people running it and/or accept it, ask for help and gank the help.

All your precious graphs are wrong.

The early graphs and percentages about kill ratios do not take into consideration the quit's and declines.
If you put all those early graphs inside the big decline graph they are worthless. Even the not declined 7% is full of quits lol.

So can we have a proper percentage of players that tried and succeeded. it is probably less than 1% and probably not mission running 'alts' .
