I was at a high intensity combat zone in my FDL comfortably earning combat bonds. There was this annoying elite Viper MK IV which kept turning around me and firing his "gimballed" railguns from a distance of 800m to 1500m at me (he kept hitting me even though I had FA off, spiralling all around the place and at a distance). I went towards a group of green players, hoping they would take care of him (as I was attacking another ship), but they seemed content just turning in circles.
So eventually I got annoyed and engaged him. I thought Viper MK IVs had bad maneuvreability, but I guess I was wrong. He was able to fire his OP "gimballed" railguns while he probably had FA off at a great distance. Sometimes I saw him shoot his railguns at me even though his nose was rougly 15 degrees away.
What made me furious is this: By now we were about 20 km from the centre of the conflict zone. It was just the Viper, me and a friendly elite Corvette! The friendly elite Corvette seem totally oblivious to the Viper. I had gotten his shields down easily, so I thought the friendly elite Corvette would easily finish him off (since viper was hull tanker). However, the stupid friendly elite Corvette just kept firing idk what (cannons?), and the viper's hull didn't even go down 1% in 2 minutes. The Corvette just kept circling him, but didn't even do any damage.
By now I was furious at the Corvette. I scanned him, realised he had 2 burst lasers, a missile rack, and he wasn't even using it. And the viper was in his sights the whole time, because the viper was attacking me. Friendly elite NPCs = noobs, enemy elite NPCs = aimbot? (jk)
