I give up.

As the title says "I give up!". The AI logic in this game is appalling and totally stacked against human players.

Just dropped out of hyperspace at Alpha Centauri and was immediately (less than 2 seconds) interdicted by an AI ship which I couldn't escape. When I was eventually pulled out I was powerless and dead in about 10 seconds.

I don't mind a fair fight and dying, but this game is a (I'd like to swear here but the forum doesn't allow anger!) joke and the biggest waste of money ever!

Bye Bye Elite.

If you got beat by a NPC that's mean you need a better ship or a better player skill.

Players, nowadays, are so weak. They can't accept a challenge.

Finally that steep learning curve is back.

You'll be back, it will eat at you till you get back in the pilot seat and learn how to play.

To be fair, I think the psychopath NPC's are the wrong kind of difficulty, and a very boring type of difficulty. Same goes for the unescapable glitched interdictions.
Now, that NPC's can be good or well-armed enough to give you a whooping now and then - that I have no problem with, and I would like to see more of it, even.

It's true sadly. If an NPC kills you you either made a mistake or got greedy...or you are flying a very weak ship with few upgrades. You can always get away unless flying a Sidewinder or if you're trading with no shields.

Seriously? 10secs?

What interdicted you, a Deathstar?

And what were you flying, a Sopwith Camel?

If you were interdicted after jumping in, I doubt it was 2 secs, and if it was, it's just bad luck.

Were you flying without shields?

What armament do you have?

Do you know how to operate your ship?

Sorry, but this comes across as a n00b rant...perhaps if you told the story in more detail?

You were killed by an NPC, not a player.... Basically you're quitting because you find the game too hard, the responses you have received are tame compared to what people really want to post.

Learn to play, because you clearly haven't already.

In the beginning there are NPCs who can kill you very quickly. Dont be discouraged. It changes once you get your hands on better ships and get more combat experience. Just stick with it and see it as a challenge.

Would you be willing to send me your account? I know people that would love to play the game and can't afford it right now.

Must be troll. NPCs are about as dangerous as a cuddle-sick house cat. Perhaps try and and equip your ship with something slightly more powerful than glorified laser-pointers and invest a bit in a proper shield? Then get back here and tell us you got problems taking out those cute little credits piñatas.
