I like the suggestions, however I do not think they are an important issue right now. There are huge issues that need addressing in the game right now (many of which are being ignored), so I don’t think content like this is entirely necessary (at least not yet).
Sometimes I really feel NPCs are just interacting with you if you hit them. I mean sometimes I bail out to the police while pirates - aliens following me, and they’re like “Hey look, space dust!” .__.
