While offering a similar bounty hunting enviroment as Hazardous RES zones, CNAVs spawn many small attack craft with a much higher probability of being in a wing, as opposed to HRES spawns of single large targets. The spawn rate of ships in a CNAV is naturally far greater than that of a HRES, and includes a larger variety of ships. You will encounter pirates, smugglers (Attempts to flee from combat, does not stick around for long), outcasts (Will not attack unless provoked), traders (Popular targets for the pirates, also has a high turnover rate, so more bad guys. No more getting bogged down by miners!), and even fellow bounty hunters (Who will scan ships for bounties, and attack any with one. Your local system security if clean everywhere in the universe, and a terrible enemy if not so) while patrolling. For those who enjoy the action of a combat zone, pilot larger ships and enjoy turret combat, or prefer fighting many syncronised small attack craft to a single, powerful ship. There is also no mass lock, allowing you a quick escape in the event that things turn sour.
