Anyone open an issue I can upvote yet? I also notice my SLF pilot will start using a different dialog track "That's one for me commander" that she used to never say, then the whole CZ turns aggro on me.
My Elite SLF Pilot Seems To Have Lost Her Mojo

yeah update 17 broke them
Best hurry up and get that issue raised if you want a chance for it to be fixed in the November patch, they won't have time to fix it if you leave things until the last minute.
Last time I played, just after update 16, I'd not long returned after a break. My Elite Crew member - who was a very effective SLF Pilot - had totally been hit with the dumb stick. She was largely unresponsive, both to my orders and being attacked and became a liability. She'd literally be dead moments after launching in any combat scenario, whereas previously I could happily leave her to do her own thing and rack up kills in your average HazRes. I've not returned again since. So, if update 17 broke them, I wonder what was going on for me? That said, networking was a MESS last time I played, so it was likely linked to that. By "networking" I mean FDev's net code, as I was playing in Solo (over a GREAT connection, on an excellent PC) yet getting constant issues.

I think I'm noticing CZs in general the npcs arent damaging each other much either. I wonder if they broke all NPCs ability to taget. Also saw 2 npcs of the same faction duking it out with each other...
Actual attack or the weapons fire when scanning bug?
In my experience my hardpoint deployment has no effect on my being attacked just whether I have cargo or a bounty.
My experience with NPCs is admittedly a few months old and prior to the latest bugs.
No bounty, no cargo, no scanning, no weapons. Just dropped in from SC and was attacked. CNB bounty hunting is my go to activity. Hope they don't break it for good.
From what I have read* the scanning bug is that when NPCs try to scan something their weapons fire, if it is you they are scanning it looks like an attack.
*I am too far out in the deep to encounter NPCs and experience this first hand.
Having the same experience as everyone else. They always break something.
Did you guys send a ticket about this?
Is FDev aware?

An issue ticket has been created but it doesn't always load when you click on it. Some issue with the bug tracker as well.
I have an issue with the Issue Tracker. I can't get in to see any issues. it won't let me past the screen with all the boxes for the different games. Tried 4 browsers.
i just figured fdev makes them miss because it's easier to do that than properly balance the game with engineers and player skill.
i treat my slf like smart chaffe. more about distracting npcs by drawing fire that doing any actual damage.

I've watched an elite NPC clear an entire high CZ all on her own.. But that was a while ago, no idea how well they work nowadays.
