In factional warfare, NPC cruisers are particularly quick. They can reach top speeds of 4000m/s. Faster than a navy frigate on MWD. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/f/a/f/faf34376592d541587ec20e6669d349e3ba79b82.jpeg) In order to compare I tried a Vagabond (fastest cruiser according to eve-univ) 50MN, lows dedicated to agility / speed, rigged with auxiliary thrusters, not even close to 4km/s. It might be done with snake implants. But at this point better try and fit a 500MN right? I don’t mind some NPC ships having super-powers, like the sleepers whom snipe you from 300km omni damage. It’s charming as long as it is consistent. Anyway, I think it’s a bug what do you think? ---

Totally agree. Warframe for example took it up a notch and made NPCs _roughly_ equal to players as they were pretty much dummy targets about 3 years ago. People might argue as capsuleers our ships should be different from crewed NPC ships. I honestly disagree. A ship is still the same ship with the same stats if it had a crew/captain compared to a capsuleer. Marauders need a PVE equivalent when it comes to missions but that is an entirely different mess: 😆 > [@BruThoL\_Godfather](#): > > Anyway, I’d tend to think that it is a bug, I tried online support and was asked to post here, so here we go, what do you think? It’s intended. ---
