Thanks a bunch!

The last few days I've been getting into combat and was starting to enjoy the game more after becoming jaded with trading, so much so I ordered a new graphics card while waiting for 1.2 to download. I finally got 1.2 started and was eager to kill something but every NPC now has 2 mates with him and I have no chance. I understand a lot of players will be loving 'Wings' in open but is it really fair for solo players to have to put up with 3 against 1.
Hopefully I am missing something and when I figure it out everything will be ok, but at the moment I have swung from 'Can't wait to do some shooting' to 'Can't be bothered to get mugged again'. On top of that I may have just wasted money on a graphics card. Thankfully I couldn't afford a flightstick.

Well you haven't really wasted money on a graphics card tbh. ED isn't the only game you're going to play that requires one (glass half full realisation there).

Secondly - you're providing feedback, and if enough perk up it could very well be a tuning issue that FDEV will want to look in to concerning NPC scaling vs solo and wing/grouped CMDrs.

Your card won't be a waste. In 1.2 they really did a good upgrade of the graphics as I see it. Well worth having the right card to show it in all its beauty. Just remember to set the graphic in options to max when you get it for the eye candy. :)

It makes sense tho. I always thought it was a bit daft only ever having 1 attack. The good news is not all are winged up. In 3 interdictions tonight 2 were solo and the other vwas 3 eagles. With practice even they will be no issue for you

Were you going into Weak USS (I think that's the description)?
There are different kinds now and the weak ones are aimed more at solo players with the strong ones for people in wings.

Even before 1.2 it could happen that you had three pirates in a USS against you, at least happened to me, so thats nothing new. Only difference is that you have different USS types now. A ship designed for combat should have not too much of a problem beating three NPCs, as long as its not three condas or something equally funny.

Ah, you've given me some hope. I was mainly in conflict zone but I did also try 2 strong signal sources (didn't come across any weak) as I thought the SSS were ships and the WSS were canisters or transmissions etc. (I'd been watching some youtube vids earlier and one of them mentioned it would be nice to have an idea what was in a USS before jumping, I think I put 2 and 2 together and got 57:eek:)

Anyway, I'll have another go tomorrow, hopefully tonight's experience was just the worst it can get.

Thanks.
