I hadn't expected this!..

Npc competent Cobra interdicts a Deadly player, in a fully kitted Anaconda, in a high security system. NPC gets vaporised in about 12-15 seconds.

Last dying words... "I hadn't expected this"

Just really sad, what hope is there to balance NPCs if they can't balance dialogue.

If they said nothing in the heat of the moment, it would be ten times more believable. Next thing I expect to to here as they spiral at 0% health is 'Can I add you on steam'.

It is the same as "I was waiting long for a juicy cargo like this" when my ship cargo space is either totally empty or contains 2t of Praseodymium for Engineer. :)

Hahah, right.
Also they are trying to convince us to their last breath that we (spacedust, arguably) have made our last jump

They actually want the Lavian Brandy you have stashed under walkway panel 12-A-2 on the starboard side. You know the bottle I mean. The good stuff. ^.^

Lol -for some reason I thought this was quite funny.
I think mainly because given some of the posts over the last week the Competent Cobra NPC must have fancied his chances, he'd been talking to his expert Adder mate who'd toasted an Anaconda this morning.

Are you one of those NPCs? ;)

No it was fully kitted.

Fully kitted, A-Rated through out. 7 Shield boosters all A-Rated, blah, blah. Huge Beams, blah, blah. Modified.

The clue is in fully kitted...

Run an empty cargo hold in a RES and you are basically invisible. I was swimming in a sea of Wanted annies and clippers and they ignored me like I wasn't even there.

I get: "Our Mistress sent us; you didn't pay homage to her, again this morning!"

The NPC chat, is just a side note to me; up there top left.

I normally take no notice any more. The day they address me by name and tell me all about my ship and cargo; is the day, I get worried.

Interdiction and RES is a totally different game. as far as I know, somebody please correct me. You can be pulled by any wanted target from supercruise, because they believe the 'tasty' cargo is with you. Most likely they will leave you alone after the recent patches and they've pulled you over. Pirates in RES behave similar, but they don't pull you over, you just get scanned, pass your fine.

Did you have 4 pips on System? I get attacked all the time by Cobras above that level , up to Deadly or Elites , I've never been destroyed in my FDL by one of them alone, Anaconda has amazing firepower but it's difficult to avoid hits, I don't know what weapons you use but turretted weapons are your best friend in your case, did you record it in video? I'm curious about how they destroyed you

I winged up with a new guy and took him into a High-RES and we got battered is seconds. I forgot that I had 5 tons of gold on board. Normally carried to tempt the pirates, in super cruise.

And my personal fave: 2% hull, about to be confined to the eternal NPC scrapyard.

NPC: "Well now you have my attention, what are you going to do?"

Well...I was kinda hoping for some light discussion on vegetarianism and all...
