Is it me or has the AI been nerfed again?. Not sure as i got a good roll on my thrusters last night and also modded a few weapons too. Combat today has been a lot easier, when interdicted i have killed all the ships sent against me. Im hoping its the new thrustes and weapons

It has been stealth nerfed, server side.

And yes, getting new weapons, the AI will be just like the fish-in-barrell simulator of 2.0 AI.

When was this stealth nerf? I haven't played this week but the AI seemed to be pretty tough on the weekend.

This is dis-heartening I was just getting ready to log in for some bounty hunting, I might watch a movie instead.

Elite 2.2 will introduce ship launched fighters. I am sure that FD will consider buffing the AI then. Personally I am not disappointed. It means I can finally use my Python for mining again without turning it into a turret boat
