Yes, this has been suggested many, many times and I do not hold much hope for it.

I would like to suggest that new NPC's spawn at the top of the NPC list, instead of at the bottom.

This would save a lot of pointless scrolling that tends to lead to people giving up when their top few slots are occupied by big boss npc's.

I guess another option would be to seperate the NPC's and Player ships in the same way as the trade page - a big tab to let you select a whole page view. Though that may lead to a lot of empty space for people who have not unlocked all npc slots, I realise.

Or better yet - allow us to individually move the bar between NPC ships and Enemy Player ships. This could either be done just like the chat bar, or as an option in Settings.
For an NPC run, set it to 8 NPC, 3 PC, and when you want to kill all the ships in the world, 1 NPC, 10 PC, etc.

Just random ideas - not prooftested. Rip them apart, add to them, or tell me that there are more important things to worry about (But i think the first option wouldnt take long to impliment)

This is the main reason why I have yet to bother even getting the last 2 NPC slots. I doubt I will until there is some kind of fix for the bottom spawning.

I strongly agreed with Golgotha. The scroll bar in the NPC list has been real pain in finger although I suffered 'nintendo thumb' from long-term NPC hunting since I added last two npc slots. I just did Hallows hunting for few hours in six days to get weapons.

I perfer NPCs and Enemy Players ships split into two separated pages, allow to view all ships in ONE page at once. Add to the pages, sorting options should be applied to NPCs much like Enemy Player ships list does.

Please make that happened before next holiday NPC hunting. I swore myself I never do npc hunting again for my hands sake unless the changes made to the Battle Tab. Thank you.

Those who have 8 NPC slots all get sick of :

good idea +1

its these 'little' things that NEED to be fixed. it cant be that hard, just let us switch the sorting order like we can with the PVP area.. PROBLEM SOLVED DAN!!

I would like to have the option of going back and forth here. I would want it like it is till I get two boss's up or so then switch it so they are the ones I can't see and the rest are now on top. That is how I all ways seen it going.

I like all the ideas.

yes please....
tbh, other than the semi-malfunctioning mouse i got, this is the leading cause of me not NPCing daily, which at the current stage I should be doing.

+1 these little things is what is gonna help the game the most.....besides more content for higher level ships

Bump. My apologizes.

Dan, what you think of the ideas?

One Additional column Expires In .. sortable

solves the additional pet peeve of having to open up an enemy to see when it expires to make me know when to use my remodulate
