It appears that power play NPC spawn and attack at an annoying level when a player is pledged to a power, it's not a problem with the traditional NPCs.
News Elite Dangerous: Ascendancy | New Release Date and Release Schedule
- Thread starter Paul_Crowther
- Start date
That makes sense, so did they fix the NPC wing dorsile thing?
I have no idea, as I don't have access to the preview, I can only repeat what I've learnt from others, and I understand that they found some other problems too. I guess we'll see, maybe the problem's gotten even worse and the NPCs don't shoot back at all!
All I can say is that I'm thankful for the partners having found problems, and for frontier listening to them and trying to fix it. OK, first it was a weeks delay, then another two days, but I prefer that they fix known problems before shipping me the product..
I think what would help (a bit) too would be if they addressed it a little bit on the FU on Wednesday - not the delays, these things happen, but what we should be expecting from NPC aggression in the new update.
I am 100% behind the idea that if you're engaged in Powerplay you should be running some sort of risk. But not at ALL times. If I'm pledged to a power and I rock up at an opponent's stronghold then yes, I expect to have a very large target on my back. If I'm in an opposing power's system I expect to be on alert if I'm running a mission of some sort. But it shouldn't be an absolute guarantee that no matter where I go in the bubble, if I'm in a system outside of my own power's territory, opposing power NPCs spawn at all times and are always "shoot first, ask questions later."
On that tangent, ED Odyssey on steam is now mixed, and recent are very positive!
Please fix the Scope mod issue on Odyssey weapons.
Odyssey scope mod issue/warning
Just a heads up in case it's not just me and the update totally broke something...I fitted scopes to 4 Odyssey weapons yesterday after untold grinding to upgrade them all, (less grinding than pre-update, granted, but still) and it hasn't worked on any of them. It took the materials, it shows...

All hands: Man the slipway!
I must admit that I was sorely tempted to enter the fray at one point, but then I realized that what I was typing was likely to earn the wrath of the mods..
I don't mind the delays but it would've been awesome to not delay it twice on the last day lmao
And theres me wanting the return of the lethal NPCs ...... come on... let them have the engineering they had when engineers first came out, and the dark lady of the A.I. let them loose on us.
Thus the galaxy became dangerous, especially when they arrived with rapid firing railguns/PAs
And some love for the ground NPCs..... standing around looking dumb as I slowly pick them off from a rooftop with my sniper rifle instead of diving for cover and working out where I am. Not that it would do them much good considering I'm carrying a lvl 5 rocket launcher for those 'close encounters'

So what's the word on the Type-8 availability for in-game credits? Some were saying it's coming with the patch, others early November... any official word?
Cool, at least.
But still, an alternative, like for example "Guardian Hi-cap Shield" would be awesome to have.
". . . In order to ensure the best possible experience we have made a small change to the release date of Elite Dangerous: Ascendancy, to adjust an issue with NPCs still being more aggressive than intended. . ."
Personally, I would like to see the NPC's have a more aggressive nature. The name of the game after all is Elite Dangerous.

It gets old very fast if it becomes more frustrating than enjoyable.
