My combat rank is "Dangerous" 70% towards "Deadly" and have only seen 1 (one) "deadly" or above NPC so far.
Lots of "Experts" and "Masters" and I just now before closing down got interdicted by a Harmless Eagle that died a horribly fast death to my Cobra.

Yeah but here's the thing...I'm a 2 week old new player whi is mostly harmless and almost every npc who is ing me are dangerous in safe space. How does one adapt to that when ye have less than 42k left?

So far, not one player has even tried to tell me how...offers of help and charity but I didn't come here just to take charity...I came here to play the game as advertised when it said "play your own way"...didn't say anything about having to team up just to survive ^^
 
@Griefed_ I've watched it a few times. 1 pip in SYS... not very smart... AI in perfect firing position = major ouch!

simple as that
I've watched the video that showed nothing <> I've done the math.
Give it to the math guys and let them balance the parameters. :p

There's about 9k contributors to the Bounty CG - if that was "normal", it would have been reported more often. I'd guesstimate their NPC RNG gets wonky at the fringes. Again.

Again, the guy in that video was killed in less than two seconds (in a Python with full shields and health), not even allowing any reaction. Four pips to shields might have made that three seconds. I believe that SJA has a serious attitude problem at the moment.

edit: SJA confirmed the 1-shot weapons are NOT a bug on twitter. (unless you count thargoids as bugs)
She didn't at all - she commented on their pips and positioning, said nothing about whether it was intended to be so OP or not - let's not start wildly misrepresenting what the devs say

ps. love the thargoid idea tho :)

Ah moar threats and claims.

ED is not loosing players. Period.

My claim is as good as yours, teddy.
Well, at the moment, there's a big boost from the new update.
But dozens, if not hundreds of players can't play, and so have stopped playing.

Yes, lots of people are enjoying it, but plenty aren't and can't.
 
Fighting AI is good, and i'm fine with tougher enemies!

But, please.... buff payouts.... 150k for Elite Conda is kinda disappointing. 400k would be sweet tho :D
 
Privata, you really need to stop spreading misinformation.

Your advice is irrelevant in the current climate.

Tell me, how do you adapt to this (follow link to my post demonstrating the "best thing to happen to elite since its launch") https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=254585&page=240&p=3975552#post3975552

You are not helping at all by blinding defending it.
That is a weapon issue , not AI.
It seems to be linked to some ships getting weapons that have wierd stats.

As I have yet to encounter this , I feel that its fine. in fact it could do with being harder as ''elite'' ranked AI are still easy

And even then , most of the vids the users are flying in terrible ways (like SJA pointed out) 1 pip in sys.
Maybe there loadout was terrible? maybe there loadout sucked

What does "cant play" mean?

- they cant log in?
- they cant undock?
- they cant leave the forum?

What ... WHAT?

And please STOP the childish threats. If ED is going to close down servers I doubt seriously that any AI is going to be the culprit.
People just got used to the broken AI from 1.3 and forward. Now were back to normal and people start throwing childish internet threats around.

I have played for two full days now, not died a single time. Had to pack up and leave a few times but thats just working as intended.

Its not a human right to win in video games.

Hahahahahahahahahaha

I'm glad she stopped working on the AI if that's her conclusion!

What ludicrous delusion leads one to believe it's "working as intended" when a Python gets destroyed in 2 seconds! Hahahaha!

If that's the FD consensus I'm never playing this game again. What a ridiculous thing to say.

And even the one shot kill thing can be dodged by good flight. and using more than 1 pip in sys.

My D rate T7 survived longer against murderhobo Powerplay NPCs than that poor Python.
I also doubt any player could 100-0 any NPC in that time with a vulture.
It's also clearly hull going down to 0, not any of the fancy new abilities that blow up the PP under your seat.

She said in no uncertain words that Deebz was "not very smart" in his pip-management. In essence, that's saying "Git Gud!" There wasn't a single hint of acknowledging that this may be a bug in her reply.

She still works on the AI , it was only a temp thing.

And its a great feature , it just means you need to manage your pips , thats all.

Give me a break. If a fully healty Python with full shields gets killed in less than 2 seconds, flying doesn't make one bit of difference. And 4 pips in sys would have bought the guy one extra second, at most.

You are factually wrong, and demonstrably false. Anyone who takes your arguments seriously is worse off than they were without ever reading into this discussion.

"As I have yet to encounter this I feel that its fine." you see all of the videos of bugs, and you say it's fine? What's wrong with you? A vulture dropping a Python someone in less than 2 seconds, perfectly fine?

SJA's conclusion is ridiculous. As is yours.

Give me an example where you, in a vulture, have taken out a Python in less than 2 seconds. I dare you.

But... it may NOT be a bug.

One of the Engineers talk of "fake humans". Its a dangerous galaxy.

So when people dont agree with you they "cant read into the discussion"? Seriously man.
