NPC Humans need massive rework!!!

[Tallios 24]

NPC Humans need a serious re-work as far as their self defense methods and abilities to melee.  They cannot fight in melee worth a shit, they will not defend a boarded ship.  A single player on board a ship needs to have a chance against a boat of other players.  

NPC's need to be able to be assigned to a ship and STAY WITH THE FUCKING SHIP.  

NPC's Should be able to equip ranged attack weapons.

I strongly recommend they are able to be skilled up in various stats to make them useful for different things.  Not just an all purpose thing.
