Is it within CIG's Plans to have NPCs be "shoppers" for their necessities, and I do not mean just "life" bear necessities like food, drinks and the likes, but also anything which players might be selling ? For example, we know that the Banu Merchantman and the Kraken "Privateer" will have Shops with Vendors and items sold in them. We also know, if I remember it correctly, that there will be some persistent, derelict "Space Stations" which players will be able to occupy, repair and Crew up (and have to defend 24/7 if it needs be), that will have places for players to set up Vendors there selling items. Now, is this trading gameplay only reserved to players OR, will NPCs be coded to "also" be buyers and, perhaps, sellers, at these Vendors Stalls ? That is, will we see an Artificial Intelligence for NPCs that will deal with any of this Buying/Selling from Vendors ? Thank you for the answer.
