These people dont read the forum, nor test thing, they just run ahead realeasing a bugged and broken things....
Like the weapon heating, its dumb.
I hope they can read, people will start leaving the game.
I love this game but seriously need to be fixed before to release new stuff.

It's a typical problem for many games in the beginning of the multiplayer experience. No nerfing, nerfing too late and in this case, too much nerfing. It's off putting and they don't seem to realize it. I expect to see a reduction in some of the nerfs soon.

With the exception of dumb fires none of the flailing around needed to have been done. Until they figure out how to change stuff without screwing other things up badly they should leave well alone. Oh, and when you invite people to beta test in future it might be polite to say you're just going to go ahead and make live stuff you've been told are badly broken. Save people's time.

BOOMTASTIC - NPC Orca kamikaze got my Cobra with full shields and milspec hull plating - it left station I was on final approach then the sneaky git turned and slid under me in a scrapey scrapey mode tried to reverse and thrust up but to late the pair of us were bits of metal adorning the toaster rack.

Methinks time to await a patch some how - I lost a whole 20 tonnes (I know I know) of domestic goods - those folks in Sesuang will have to wait!

Time for a cuppa and some TV....

This is amazingly broken, I just attempted to pirate an anaconda, tapped him with my wing while i rotated at 20m/s, i lost 2.5 rings, he lost 100% shields and 30% hull.

If you were that conda I apologise I had no idea it would immensely damage your ship from a tap that previously wouldn't have even damaged one ring.

Heat changes are fine. Makes sense to give a good mechanic some love. Before heat was a non issue which is wrong.

Collisions however...

I interdicted a CMDR in a type7 earlier, and my Cobra rubbed the belly on him - he exploded instantly. Granted, his shields were down but still. Thats just a bit too much of collision damage for me. My cobra is fitted with military grade hull plating and "only" took 65% hull damage.

It's not only broken, it's completely bonkers.
"it's realistic now!!111".. yeah riiiight.

Flight one in my Anaconda in 1.1: Slighly ditched a t7 while flying out. shields down, hull down to 67%. t7 down to 17%. 1,4 Million repair costs.
Flight 2: Slightly hit an ASP while going in. shields gone. 65% Hull, 1,6M repair costs.
Shields nerfed, FSD sound is horrible (like flying a lancaster across the channel), Lasers are good for Barbeque now - too much heat all over. Power Plant was insufficient after patch, needed uprade despite it was perfect before 1.1. Ah yeah. We got city lights. I'm impressed.

it took 30 Minutes this evening to ruin my game experience. FD, you got to be kidding.

If this is indeed happening, guess I'll go play another game, no point trying to make money when NPC's scrapping alongside you costs you the ship, the cargo, creds and time.

Pray tell...how did this get past QA?

I was just entering a station with 32m/s and four pips in SYS when I deliberately and gently scratched along a leaving Orca. The Orca exploded and I had barely one shield ring left.

Well, is that behaviour intended or was it even worse in beta3 or both?

Sounds like pirates may have their work cut out for them!

Thats easy they don`t have QA...i mean seriously some of whats going on at the moment goes beyond sloppy.

Yanaran · Feb 10, 2015

I ticketed this in beta too, #00000035776. I've managed to avoid getting exploded so far... Traffic started getting a bit hairy in Yembo so hopped over to Solo mode and will probably take a stab at the exploration community goal until this is fixed.

adoredtv · Feb 10, 2015

Hit 2 Anacondas in a conflict zone, first one took me to 3% hull from near full shields (it died due to low hull), 2nd one scraped my shields off.

ulti19 · Feb 10, 2015

Tired of that 'guy' always harassing you in his big, expensive, fully loaded shield?! Well no worries, jump into a brand new shiny and none expensive sidewinder and ram him at full speed!! it doesn't matter what his shield or hull damage is, we guarantee you will blow him outta space!!!!

Just had most entertaining destrucrion derby in Elite so far: was at Eravate nav beacon in my Viper. Bumped gently to cmdr eagle, his shields went almost completely out, i turned around and he seemed to point his nose towards me, so i sped up and went to head on, he exploded, I lost most of my shields. Next I noticed a player cobra that had shields down and bit over 90% hull left, thought small kiss would make him happy, he went down to under 30%. Another player cobra moved in and rammed him to death less than minute later. He lost his shields too, so I thought he might like to have a bit more of derby going on. Two bumps later he was no more and my shields were down to last ring. Another player came around in his cobra, with just barely glowing shield, so I popped a cell and went to bump with him too. He went down to under 40%, I was having so much fun I couldn't ram him anymore but just laughed and watched him to surge away.

Anyway, most fun I've had in elite for a while.

Guess I'll be buying a disposable Type 6 for Yenba tonight. I was planning on some deep exploration because of the new routing and such, but I don't think I'm brave enough to fly anything more expensive than a Type 6 with this bug going.

micky1up · Feb 10, 2015

what is it with people FLY PROPERLY do not touch any other ship with the amount of posts on this its clear people didnt give a hoot about flying correctly because they were immune from penalty well now your not fly properly and you will be fine

Dreelan · Feb 10, 2015

Just had the same happen to me never had such an expensive repair bill from scraping past a asp in the letterbox, or any ship, 4 pips to shield hull went down to 12% 3.4 mil bill... they have sure put the unfun time in fun and an expensive way to do it......
