I started on Akua. Created an SV in the factory before teleporting to Ningues. On arrival I found one Legacy NPC that I killed at the convoy... after that I scanned down all POI on the planet and went both Theta Lab and Mineral Synth Lab and there were no hostile NPC at all in either of the POI. Breezed through and collected goodies. I suspect this is not intended
NPC's not attacking the player is known & is fixed on the internal branch we use which we will be putting out next week on to the experimental branch amongst other fixes.
