We got exas cant have faucervics we want MERPS BIG ONES and LOADS of them ND please fill a dome up so as soon as you land at a tp they come running to greet you hehe
I was at CND during one of the WOF rounds, and when I relized there were lots of fairly big merps among the bercs I though "wtf".
I think that merps, either you love them, or you hate them. Reason I hate them is because I consider them a "junk mob" - when you mine or hunt other mobs, they force you to kill them aswell. They are like fauces - both fast and aggro. The fact that they are relatively weak do mean nothing, if they chew on your armor while you busy with some bigger mob, or if tey swarm so you suddently have 5 of them on you.
Before the "spider fix" some years ago, if you got swarmed with a mob such as merp, some of them would die atleast, reducing some of the pain. Now instead you might get "creature cannot be damaged" with you try shooting at it.
If merp lovers want them, sure go ahead, but then they should be in a separate dome - or in a dome with other awkward mobs. Maybe among small trox (I've stopped actively hunting adj. trox - I only kill them if I really have to).
(Don't take my post so seriously in a commercial point of view, I'm not at CND that often. It's a nice place, tax isn't much higher than landareas on planet, but I'm too poor to pay the travel fee regularily and I'm too impatient to love waiting for pilots and ships to get full, and I hate having to sell or TT items that might be needed on the planet just to keep weight down.)
