Random Generic, actual it's fine all of this with RES.
All RES are total crap now for hunting.. is this what FD want?

Have you not read the post on the NPC forum? "OMG, shotty totally overpowered LULZ"
Generally, I do also feel like the weapons load-outs in 1.3 are way worse than in 1.2. On the other hand, I occassionally stuck to my target (typically an Anaconda) in 1.2 after shields went offline, but now that is deadly due to all the cannons.
yes some say there res are working others simply are not spawning normal trash all day.
Agree. High Intensity is now Highly boring, barely any ships. seriously?

Actually no, because no one needs to drop out of Supercruise at nav beacons, so it doesn't make sense, actually

It's fair to say that the resource extraction sites aren't working as expected at the moment. The following changes were made for 1.3:
- Added in the new ships for each of the archetypes that spawn into RES locations. There are now between 4-7 different ship types that each of the 3 spawn maintainers can choose from. There’s also a nice selection of different scenarios for each scenarion to choose from.
- Smoothed out spawning by delaying some of the ships. Same number of ships will eventually appear after approximately 30-90 seconds, it was merely added in to reduce any heavy load slowdown when you first arrive at a RES site.
- Made high, normal and low intensity also mean high, normal and low skill for the ships that spawn into the RES site.
- Balance of high intensity is in favour of pirates and security ships for low intensity.
At the moment it seems that these are sometimes working and sometimes not so we're investigating why this is the case.

That's incorrect. What was announced was that for miners it would be tougher but more rewarding sure, but also that there would be more targets for bounty hunters.
Not to mention FD themselves just posted today about the fact High Intensity is now High Skill.....but all I have seen are a few mostly harmless and novice ships, nothing high skill about that.

Well then that's pretty crap. Before you'd get 1 million for 15-20min work. That's just nerfed to hell now. I spent 20min and only got 289k...ridiculous, not viable at all for bounty hunters. CZs seem to be more profitable right now.

FDL's in a RES? Done literally hundreds of RES, never ever seen a single FDL.

Again that's wrong. Not what was announced by FD so I'm pretty sure they know better than you what it's meant to be. It's just not what they said it would be or probably intend it to be
I'm seeing plenty of ships...but unfortunately they are all cops

They're mostly not working. So it's a huge issue.
but are the RES consistent now and generate pirates based on information we can access from the background simulator, ie general system security level, influence of the local outlaw faction and so forth? Or is the supacruise out and back in lottery still in place?
Also, if local outlaw faction influence level matters, what's there to prevent piracy extinction now? I've noticed every single "unfettered" faction I've ever looked at has only went down and down, from 26% to 1% in some cases - explanation here is simple, players keep killing them for their bounties, and no one does anything to raise them again.
Which is way to much. I for one am happy that bounty farming might take the backseat to bounty hunting.
Very strange

Perhaps it is **too** much. But now it's nerfed so badly it's not even a viable profession anymore. We need balance not total nerfing or out of balance over the top rewards

working as expected == sometimes working and sometimes not.
That's what I call "working as implemented", not "working as intended", and definitely not "working as expected".
I think it's safe to say from the posts here and my personal experience it's not consistent at all!

Thank you Michael for respond.
Ah, that makes sense now.
Looking sideways out of a roller coaster, the movement might seem really inconsistent. If you look ahead, you'll see that it's pretty damn consistent with where the tracks are going.
Maybe, just maybe, the people who put a little(much?) more effort to think about system security, checking if the ring is pristine or depleted, checking for pirate faction influence, or planet distance from entry point, and as a result fighting with master / elite ships - in wings like dropship + 2 pythons - might have a point?
so official there still bugged. now all the traders on hear crying bounty hunter actually can make as much as there beloved trading can go away.
security level is if they spawn hi level or not. and thats the problem hi levels are acting like low level or not at all.
