Hi,
I have compiled some of the most annoying things ever that takes the fun out of Elite Dangerous. I hope something can be done about it.

1. NPC jumps away under 10% hull
2. Get ONLY 800Cr for killing Elite Cobra (My repairs costed 7000+)
3. Ships ramming head on (Almost seems on purpose)
4. Annoying NPCs and CMDRs "hogging the target" (Impossible to fire without them hit)
5. Multicannon and Beam (Those are great weapons, but silly ships are barging into the line of fire, guess what happens next?

1. They would be mad not to wouldn't they? Wouldn't you do this? Try targeting their sub modules such as the power plant.
2. Perhaps he only had carried out a minor infringement of the law. It would be unrealistic for every ships to have a mega bounty. Select your bounties carefully or stay in your targets blind sport. Fly wiser. By better shields, and use your power management to better effect.
3. Use your vertical thrusters and boost to stay out of the way.
4. Use your vertical thrusters to increase your angle of attack.
5. Perhaps they are finding it hard to hit the target because you are "hogging the target", see your number 4. ;-) Also if they are authority ships they are the law, not you, they have right of way. This is just experience, you get better at spotting them.


Hope this helps commander.

I wondered about these claims that ships are ramming you head on ... In my experience, when they were ramming me head on, I was actually doing the same to them : I was at full speed, possibly even boosting, aimed directly at the opposing ship. If nobody yields then both parties are at fault. As Dakron Nova said : a bit of vertical thrusters does wonder at 1) avoiding a collision and 2) get a nice view of the other ships underside :D
