Anyone notice that NPCs seem to be attacking anchored giant containers on Sisi? Often they are seemingly unaware of my presence even while I proceed to attack them. This is an on-again off-again issue but I've been seeing it enough without a forum thread about it that I thought I would ask.
If this is epxected behaviour and I'm just being a noob disregard. ;)

I've seen this just about every time I've been in a belt with rats and cans. I didn't actually think it was a bub tho, just another weird change by CCP lol (along the lines of a way to clean up the under .8sec belts of cans, with the *tougher rats* than in .8-1.0 to one day pop the cans years down the track)
Tho if they still shoot cans post rollout, they'll never do enough damage to pop a can, and miners will just use GSC as rat bait and use mining drones instead of defence.
Kinda nice to know its a bug then ;)

Well I bug reported it when I came across another example, and here's yet one more. In a 0.1 system you can clearly see some NPCs NOSing a giant container...

This isn't a bug, but a feature!! With all those millions of cans laying around in TQ...... I say it stays...
But yes, I did see the same thing happen, after installing and going live on Sisi, my character had been floating in space, so it warped into a belt, where the rats were attacking cans.

I, for one, welcome this. 0.5 systems are littered with unused anchored cans that need to be cleared. If NPCs can't kill a can easily, maybe they should be given a damage bonus vs. cans, or gimp cans in some way (reducing their HP or making sure it cannot regenerate)? Even so, it is rather silly they would be distracted by a can when a player warps into the system.

I came across something else intersting. I warped into a belt in a 0.1 security system, across the belt from me were a couple NPCs, I proceeded to lock onto and engage them. They returned in kind and came after me, interestingly there was one giant can between myself and the rats and as one of them got near said giant can it started NOSing it and ignoring me, much to it's detriment as I continued fire on it.

Your answer is the reason to write bugreports NOT anymore.
Because nobody is reading it...
Or is your bugreporting system also "write only" system for CCP-employee? 
PS: the bug/feature is known since 2..3 month now
___
...no bugreports without a working error tracking system...
Have fun or ignore it.
