Hello Market Forums!
We need to refresh this topic I think, or I would like to get it so.
Post Incursion and all the Planet Interaction, what do you think about the NPC traders.
should it be changed what they carry ?
Should they maybe carry only PI goods, or no PI goods maybe ?
Is it worth shooting at them from time to time now or was it a better thing to work before PI ?
Am I delusional and they are completely irrelevant now and always have been ?
Anyways, best regards Dsan.

A long time ago I gave it a whirl the value of goods they dropped was very low. I investigated again post incursion with one of my lowish skilled alts and they provided a decent source of income. You had to choose the right exporting stations, those that supplied more valuable P3 goods to make it worthwhile.
However they got nerfed and the dropped quantities reduced and now the values are very modest. It would probably provide a reasonable income for newish players that don't want to mine, but given the standing hit it should probably be a little better than it is.

I think CCP should do something about them, so they make more sense to have ingame.
If they dropped semi valuable stuff, I would kill them from time to time.

Perhaps as part of the whole "enriching lowsec" thing NPC convoys operating in lowsec could be carrying pretty valuable stuff, making it more worthwhile
It would be awesome if NPCs would use gates. Could have convoys in lowsec with correspondingly powerful escorts (officer/sleeper style super NPC escorts for the really juicy convoys)

It is still very low...
As to worth shooting, not really no, unless you like the fun in it and the standings loss (corp).
They were awesome back when they dropped Harvester drones lol

I agree that they should be improved in terms of their impact ingame.
The worst bunch I'm aware of are the Ishukone haulers in the Intaki system that just mill about outside the Astral Mining station. Introduced to the system to reflect the IG news they should at least behave like all of the others, travelling between the various stations. Their Mordu's escorts would then arrive to protect them when attacked as is the case with Fed Navy escorts if you attack the the applicable haulers in Stacmon, for example.

I learned about shooting them from you not long ago :P
watched you in Amarr at the Caldari station I think it was, then I did it a few times in Amarr space at a minmattar station with my brother.
Can't remember how much we made, but I would do it more or again if the standings hit wasn't SO big.
