I'll be organizing an event in which a number of officer and faction NPCs will be spawned and players will be free to shoot them and loot their stuff.
The event will most likely take place in FD-MLJ, at a time and date to be announced.

This has no other purpose than to give people a chance to get their hands on some faction/officer modules, in case they want to test some fittings with those.
I will use the FFA or BF beacons to spawn different types of NPCs, by size. You can trade afterwards if you don't like what you got.
The time for this will be most likely in the afternoon (GMT), most likely on Thursday or Friday.

Durzel - NPC vs NPC standings are not taken into account in the NPC behaviour. It would be nice to have, but the added strain on the server would be considerable. We may revisit this at a later date, however. |

Durzel - asteroid belt NPCs don't take standings into account, so they will always attack. Standings are relevant when you are talking to agents and also in certain missions and complexes, which can be authored individually so that if your standings towards that faction is over a certain threshold you will not be attacked by NPCs unless you attack them first.

I updated the first post with the date and time for the events.
To answer a few of the points above:
- we are not working on officer AI at this point
- this is not meant to test loot drop rates
- we do not want to spawn items into players' hangars or alter the NPC spawn rates in asteroid belts or seed the market with faction and officer modules
- I really was only making a friendly gesture to give people a chance to get some faction and officer modules. If that offends you in any way you are free to not show up.
If you really, really, want to see something more in this, feel free to take a look at T1, T2, faction and officer modules in any category and bug report the faction and officer modules that you believe are unbalanced or not in line with the other modules.
