I think more npc traffic would give VO a more alive and vibrant feel. To be honest, I enjoy entering a station sector more when there are incoming and outgoing voys. It gives me a strong sense that the station has some vitality when compared to a dead station that has its token one or two guards flying about.

I recommend an increase in voys, as well as squadrons of assorted combat ships that fly routes throughout all systems.

I would increase it to the level that any active system has an almost constant flow of traffic through station and wormholes at present, and as the active player base increases, begin to scale these back.

Where are you not seeing Voys? the only place i'm not bumping into one at every WH is on the test server

90% of the time I'm logged on, at stations and wormholes between UIT, Serco & Grey. I don't spend a lot of time in Itani space lately.

They seem to come in spurts. Particularly around certain wormholes like Azek / Dau or Nyrius / Dau. You'll get a round of about 5 or so going each direction, and then an hour or so of nothing. I'd like to see near constant activity.

Agreed that they're less numerous than they used to be. Further agreed that they need to appear more often.

Also, bring back the solo Atlas traders, augument with solo mauds, taurs, and moth heavies.

Yeah, it'd definitley be cool to see independant traders. Atlas, or mauds, taurs etc. Give them signature names perhaps? (kind of like independant traders in EV) So its not always just some random name. This would be especially cool once the * is removed if it ever is.

+1 to more traffic.
if we don't have enough players to populate universe, lets use guises, err. I mean NPCs, to fly ships.

Those lower life forms deserve remove the *, demanding you press k to find out if is it PC or NPC.

Lots of them all around making the production and supply chains work. Single atlas with lots of datapads as mail courier. Mega convoys with dozen capships and hundred ships...

And pass another beer!
