I for one am sick of Noob combat level 1 pirates roaming around Grey space. We as "vets" always need to be vigilant. I implore you to all kill noobs of enemy nations in Grey any chance you get. Make sure they know Grey is dangerous.

And yes bring back the npc pirates !!!!

BRING BACK UNRATS

but position them in O-12 instead of B-8 :)

Post a single unrat at each nation border to grey, just to chase down and kill newbs and unescorted traders. Don't ask for money, just make it kill easy targets. have it ignore or run from anything that is too fast or too dangerous.

Though I now feel the need to shower, I have to agree with Roda's suggestion.

id have no problem with bringing back the old unrats if they weren't in B8. H2 was a piss poor substitute for B8, the availability of stuff in Latos sucks, and it lacks a Corvus station.

since theres been a clamor for the return of the npc rats nation capitals or outlying stations could have a mission "put the pirate scourge in check" or some such. fly to some grey border and go after waves of npc rats. they appear in designated areas including wh's and act like they did before but they need to be spawned by the mission and they're only active in said sector for x time limit before the cross the border and harry traders in nation Y. if they manage to cross the border before you kill a certain number of them then you fail the mission. since the rats fly player ships and are a bit harder than most bots they could hold a higher reward for killing them while on mission. also other people can jump in and kill them but inless they are on the mission they get the normal reward. this could be a group activity and would be great training for pvp etc.

otherwise i'd also like to see an advanced version of it grom corvus where they give you the task of getting through the wh with several npc rats. but this time theres a large nation sf etc blockading you so fight your way it etc

also from Corvus "we have learned of a large convoy with <insert valuable cargo> coming through the local wh gather and return with as much of the cargo as you can for a mighty reward"
