... at the following types of stations.

Capitol: Ten guards, flying in pairs.
Mining: One guard.
Military: twelve guards, in groups of three.
Research: Three guards.

In addition to being a logical change,it would serve to make inhabited sectors feel less empty. Also, if the station in question has a faction unique ship,the guards really ought to be using it.

IF said unique ship is applicable to guard duty.

I would have thought that that went without saying, but... these are the VO forums after all. So yes, we wouldn't want station guards plodding along in mini moths.

Well it would make sense to have guards flying in ships with some form of the word "guard" in it.

-Serco vulture GUARDian

-Itani border GUARDian

-UIT's Warthog territorial DEFENDER (Not 'guard' but it is a synonym)

At the very least they should put the strike force in these ships...

/me adds calciumdeposit to the list of people he'd rather not endorse his ideas.

Let's let the devs fix the npc voys hanging after a week issue first? (Like after a week or so of the server running they start to get all screwed up prior to a reboot.)

I suggested that Inc add a cron job to reboot the server weekly to fix that issue, but that wasn't well received. I'd rather have them figure that out prior to more of a cluster fuck.

I'd like to see more NPCs that hang out around station sectors in general, in the same vein as the training sector. More diversity among the station types would also be a good thing. Good suggestion.

/me is hoping no one else is as unnecessarily hostile as ryan reign.

+1 again to more guards around stations
+2 to varying amount and type of ships depending on station faction and type!

That is how ideas evolve. More NPCs, more guards, more guards' ship types, vary amount of guard per station size/type... Diversity from one station to another!

@calciumdeposit:
Get used to it, trolling the forums is a game on its own that a few 'usuall suspects' play among themselves. Just ignore them as most do.

Alloh... that wasn't trolling, that was my honest opinion based on the fact that his reasoning ( if it can be called that)... was based on "logic" that even my two year old son would find blindingly stupid. Guards should pilot ships with guard in the name? That's like saying that all freedom fighters should drive around in a Jeep Liberty or the shuttle crew should all drive Dodge Challengers.

It follows the same logic path as the old classic...

"Kirk is a starship captain, Kirk is male... I am male, therefor... I am a starship captain."

Or...

"I have calcium deposits in my kidney, the doctor cuts them up with lasers, therefor Calciumdeposit is a kidney stone and my doctor should shoot him with lasers."

Calciumdeposit... I apologize if you felt my not appreciating your failed attempt at logic, but I am entitled to the right to not like the "deductive reasoning" behind your agreeing with me. It's not hostile to disagree or disapprove of flawed logic.

or the shuttle crew should never, ever drive Dodge Challengers.

Fixed that for ya.

Also, it's cute that you talk to Alloh like he's a human being or something. Let me know how that experiment goes.
