Yay NPC don't steal my bounties anymore :)

It's a useless mechanic and one more step down the road to Warcraft in Space in my opinion.
So easy. Everything is getting easier and easier all the time until game just erodes.
Any challenge left in the game is getting screamed out bit by bit by bit.
This is just one more step down that road.
By the way, nothing was stopping you joining Beta at any stage as well, and offering your opinions on the matter.
My opinion is that I generally love the game, but keep seeing it get easier and easier reducing any modicum of challenge left in it.
Just gets more boring the easier it gets with every patch, for me at least.

Here they come
you're soooooo hardcoreHere they come
It's my opinion, if you don't like it you don't have to. It is nothing to do with being "hardcore"

When you see all these threads constantly requesting the lowering the threshold it was only a matter of time.
How many OMG this game is too hard threads have we had.. this is why most other devs dumb their games down from the off. Cos they know the TA.

Welcome to Elite: The Musical.
I was expecting Empire Strikes Back, instead I got Phantom Menace.
14 months following the development, dozens of hours in beta, listening to ddf discussions on Lave Radio, I feel like the whole thing was either misrepresented or changed direction very late in the day.

Someone said they were constantly damaging a target with beam lasers and still lost the bounty to NPCs jumping in. That's not challenging, it's bad design. My opinion is that the game is better off now.
You sir are the minority, get over yourself. Play it blindfolded if you need more of a challenge.
It has nothing to do with making the game easier more about a broken mechanic, if you spent your time making 98% of something and someone added 2% to it a sold it and kept all the profit you'd (rightfully) be annoyed at that would you not..? If not then you obviously have to much time on your hands.
They used to be. People used to enjoy a challenge. Now they just want rewards and unlocks. Facebook gamer generation.

I know I'm in the minority, but you really need to understand it was a minority who funded this game and put time into development discussions.
That minority used to be called a core fanbase, and I don't know where they all went.
Agreed, after a 15 minute high intense dogfight that leaves me with headaches and twitchy arms, having an NPc fly in for the last two shots to take your bounty is lik having someone at work hand in your research and then claim it is theirs because they put the staples in it... Games should be fun to play, not a recurring nightmare of poorly executed game mechanics.
but I want hardcore you say.... Then play it blindfolded and the only way you can press keys is with a feather duster.

It unfortunately comes as another little change at the end of a long list of little changes that all add up to a dumbing down of the experience.
i paid my money, most of the issues in game are from you guys not understanding about the majority of future sales.
you were all too wrapped up in your own personal experience.
Open your eyes, the child you have created is misbehaving badly.
Its why the Wii sold 100,000,000. fun pick up and play your nana can enjoy. We might as well of all bought one, its much cheaper than a PC.
Maybe for you, the game just got tons better for me and I may even recommend it now to others who were put off by the original outragious mechanics and newbie squash.
also, I've noticed many of the "hardcore difficulty" players, are the ones that have already exploited the rare commodity trading, trade route assist software using, already have mountains of cash players.
well new players never had the privilege of game testing, learning the game and can step into release and straight away milk the exploits before they were fixed.
so yeah, they need to address the learning curve and game mechanics now that many of the " old school " tricks have been fixed/removed
