Naming confusion with NPCs

Now that Character NPCs are in the game should NPC vessels be called NPVs for Non Player Vessel ?

It has been tradition in SE1 to call things like pirate ships NPCs.

Both SE1 and SE2 have character NPCs in vanilla as well as NPC vessels, it seems odd to continue to refer to NPC vessels as NPCs, though changing old habits takes time.

By referring to NPC vessels as NPVs, a clearer message may be conveyed when using the term in discussion.

I would like to 'hear' your thoughts.

Also, enemy ships should be marked in red again; it’s always a bit difficult when you fly toward unknown signals, only to suddenly get blown to bits.

yeah, with NPCs actually taking on player like characteristics rather than just being a ship, there is some terminology that could be nailed down.


also, now that the renegades have a solid boots on the ground to them, i feel like factions should be coming around soon as well as grid claiming.
