Engineers 2.1.02 NPC AI complaint...

Nightbringerx

N
I wish to file a complaint regarding the NPC AI.
I dropped into a convoy signal, with my Cutter to get some chemical distilleries
from a T-9 or two. When I got in there, there were two anacondas
(one master the other expert). guarding a T9. Now I have fought and killed
Elite Anacondas solo(praise SCB's), so I thought "this should be easier".
So we started our dance, first anaconda was down to 45%, the T9 was destroyed,
and the second anaconda was down to 2 rings of shields. I myself, had used one
charge of a shield cell, and was down to 1 1/2 rings. Where out from nowhere the
wounded anaconda turns towards me with the remainder of its weapons( I love missiles!),
and opens on me again. Suddenly, it boosts straight at me, knocking out my shields and almost
killing itself. It limped off a bit, while his buddy starts to pound on me again.
So with some heavy Fboosting, I get his shields down, and turn and run.
By this time my canopy is cracked, and I am down to 15% hull.
So luckily, I was able to limp away to another system to pay my 500,000 repair bill.
And so FDevs, I wish to complain regarding the fact that others get the NPC's in
which certain cmdrs aren't having fun with.
Yet I got NPCs in which I had a total BLAST!
We all should be getting the same NPC's to be fair to everyone.

Honestly, you can have mine. I don't need them this way.

Sorry I am adrenaline allergic. I just want to run my business
my exploration my missions in space with a challange from time to time.
I don't need NPCS hunting me every mission I take.
Or NPCs calling me 'You will be spacedust soon!" every timeI enter
a system or being interdicted 3 times in a row with 15t Fish in my cargo
by an Elite Viper MKiV. Even urging a player to become murderer for
some Commodity Item is ethical more than only questionable to foster
aggression and combat.

I am happy for you, if you get what you want. FD has taken away a lot from
what I liked right now because of increasing the overall aggression so much.
They created confilict Zones and Hazards for the action, why is the rest of
space today that aggressive?

From that point I am dissapointed by that release right now, but there's still
some hope that FD will ajust some parameters to make this enjoyable again for me.

Regards,
Miklos

This novelty will wear off fast.

Did I happen to mention that I chose to battle the three ships? Yes, the ai is much more interesting(I have 37mil, and rebuy is 34).
No more killing anything that comes in range, you actually have to think whether or not it's worth the risk.
Remember that feeling in the beginning, when you were attacked by an Anaconda. It's called dread....well, it seems it's back.
Welcome to Elite "Dangerous".:)

didn't you hear? you can message support and they'll give you infinite monies if you want.
if your idea is infinite credits without challenge you can have it!
there is even talk of powerplay in solo without npc's, it is just who delivers the most tickets. He who grinds the most wins, no other gameplay involved.
they call it
Elite; PUREGRIND if you are so inclined
