I can outrun just about anything in my imperial eagle. Though I always have been able to turn quite like an NPC can, if not, faster. Try putting the experimental effect drag drives on your thrusters.NPCs are so underwpowered that you can outturn an Eagle in a FDS...

The NPCs all behave exactly the same regardless of rank, Expert and above. They all behave the same based on ship type too. It's very very obvious I'm fighting a computer.
And yeah I can't get behind anyone to save my life.
Read my post once more please.
I said I can outturn an NPC Eagle with a Federal Dropship
That's how underpowered the NPCs are in terms of flight maneuvering
This is not accurate, they gain various abilities as they get higher in rank, not least of all is the probable reason for this thread, which is that deadly and higher (it might be dangerous, I can't remember) get significant pip management skills.The NPCs all behave exactly the same regardless of rank, Expert and above.

The NPCs do favour a 4 pip to eng strategy, it can make them appear super human at times, you aren't the first to comment on it, but as I always say, I've not seen them do anything I can't do with the throttle in the blue zone and 4 pips to eng. They might have had an AI buff, I can't say I've really noticed and I do fight NPCs every day, I normally start my session with a million's worth of bounties in the comp nav and I haven't really noticed anything. I haven't done any assassinations for a long time though, maybe those corvettes got a buff?

Sure, they might pip manage better but their flying style doesn't change. They're still going to face tank and ram you, regardless of rank. An Elite NPC will just do it with 4 pips to engines.
Here's a recent example of me fighting a couple of NPCs using my own brand of lazy pip management and I don't have a problem out-turning them.
Please share your build so I can find out how your weapons are doing so much damage with shield tank corvetteHere's a recent example of me fighting a couple of NPCs using my own brand of lazy pip management and I don't have a problem out-turning them.
