Pasted from IRC:
Further testing by Xephyr and others has revealed that Anton "What is this thing you call 'Aiming'?" Nasser is indeed fully farmable in the current Corporate Command version. This means that this may also be the case with other terrifyingly dangerous friendly NPCs (such as Morningstar in Eternity Port).12:58] Xephyr So if you try to blow up Anton Nasser in Sillia, he'll just respawn if you gate out
[12:58] Laptop_Wolf heh
[12:58] The_Shrike Xephyr<--_Wait.
[12:58] The_Shrike Wait.
[12:58] Laptop_Wolf 0_o
[12:58] Laptop_Wolf you can
[12:58] The_Shrike We can FARM ANTON NASSER?
[12:58] Laptop_Wolf FARM him?
[12:58] The_Shrike YESSSSSSSSS
Because none of us have bothered to try doing corporate missions before exacting our revenge for dozens of 'accidental' deaths/injuries at the hands of Anton, we don't know what difference this makes to our standing with them, or with Anton himself. But leaving this aside, and the wonderful karma, the player probably shouldn't be able to get a full set of heavy Omsk armor, a Mk.II Omsk deflector and a bunch of Mk.V and Mk.VII howitzers as early as Silla, let alone get them by farming a plot-critical NPC. Even if this is fantastic as a way of getting back at Anton.
Edit: The fun continues in IRC:
So this bug is confined to the Silla encounter (Edit: Xephyr believes it might also happen in the encounter before Silla, but has not tested it yet). Still, this is probably the funniest bug I've seen all year. My face is literally hurting from smiling too much. The exploitation of this bug goes up to at least 0.25 Hendersons on the Henderson Scale of Plot Derailment, possibly as high as 0.5.[13:23] Xephyr I'll try it in Anaxas too, but I'm not sure how it'll go since they're docked
[13:24] Laptop_Wolf the station may
[13:24] Laptop_Wolf deny you docking
[13:24] Xephyr Yeah, and now I have some angry Ronins
[13:24] Xephyr But Kate's not mad at me
[13:25] Xephyr Better kill her, too
[Later]
[13:26] Xephyr Hmm, they stay dead this time.
