I have been hunting down Scouts in LHS 283 for the last four days with NHSS ranging from level 3 to 8. Since the update there are only level 7 treats, all Medusas. I have been in this system for over 2 hours with two of my friends in a wing. We tried to kill several Medusas, no luck! We are all 3 combat Elite with each well over 1000hrs game time and only managed to kill the first heart after half an hour in the instance. FDev, have you nerfed the Medusas or the guardian weapons? They don*t seem to do much damage at all. BTW one of my fellow commanders brought two of the new Guardian fighters. They seem to be about as useless as the AX Taipan! Purely cosmetic, with no real effect! This means I will skip all the Guardian Fighter grind in this "update" and try to find something else to do instead.
Back to the NHSS, are they supposed to be all Medusas?
Also, I have bought the Crusader and must say I am more than underwhelmed. I thought if the add a fighter bay it may become a little bit heavier and therefore a little bit slower than the two other Alliance ships and I was right with my assumption. I also thought that they might add another weapons slot to balance out the additional weight and give it more shields. Boy was I wrong. One M size weapons slot has been removed, so only three S slots 2 M slots and one L slot. Why? Also the Challenger has two size 6 slots and the Crusader has only a size 6 and a size 5. Why? This means I can either only have a size 5 hangar bay and a size 6 shield, or I have a size 6 fighter bay and a size 5 shield. Why?
The Crusader is utterly unnecessary as there is already a size M ship that is better in ANY way, the Krait! I sincerely hope you guys at Frontier put your brains together when you are designing the Krait Phantom and don´t make it a disappointment like the Crusader. At least the Crusader has been given a spoiler at the rear, that makes up for everything I guess;-)
