There needs to be NPC pirates. But just like in Eve, their presence should never be limited to just mission running. They should be everywhere. Every time you go out roaming in the open plains or passing through a valley a pirate should try to ambush you. Every time you're en route to another district, they appear. Every time Sansha's Nation does an incursion, they appear.

Agreed. I'd also like to extend incursions not to just Sansha, but to every pirate faction. Now that would be fun Twisted

It would certainly be awesome to one day see massive Free roam areas with changing and flowing objectives as NPC enemies assault in massive vehicle supported waves for hours at a time, to loot, gain LP for CONCORD and Faction in whose space we fight, and also simply for RP and interesting PvE.

That would be epic. I can also imagine the players who are pirate sympathizers fighting you in order to help the NPC pirates succeed. We see that already during Sansha's Nation Incursions. Blink

You mean the correctly assigned faction skin over the established suits. Any less is a slap in the face. "You are weak Ouryon....weakness serves not the Empire.

Whole new reason to invest time in developing a Social Tree of skills to integrate players within specific factions. Empire Standings for Loyalists and Pirate Standings for those Anti CONCORD jerks. Nation and Drone Incurions would be the places for CCP to start. Perhaps we scan down Incursion zones and then have to assign assets to the map, however much we want to commit. perhaps then we deploy into PVE and PvP scenarios on this open world map and are from them on responsible for how much ISK, standings, loot, etc we again or assets we lose.... Perhaps we can find super rare BPO or BPC for the Nation, etc. EDIT- On a side not I scanned down a Revenant the other day....I think...... "You are weak Ouryon....weakness serves not the Empire.

I would love the pirates suite but can we factor Concord into this game somehow? Entirely possible but their weaponry and Dropsuits would be off limits since their technology is extremely advanced compared to Empire Technologies.
