Another "NPC OP plz nerf" thread (Supervision of NPCs)

[tawittle]

NPCs do not play like players. There is no such thing as a game with perfect AI. In fact atrocious AI is the norm of video games.

That being said, it is easy to avoid being scanned by the npc cops in elite. You just need a bit of knowledge of how to do it.

Heat sinks are your friend. It'll force them to lose lock. With other ships in the area, it might even get them to move to someone else. It works like that in CZs as well.

Note: It won't prevent them from scanning you if they're really close, but with some distance it will force them to lose lock. With enough launchers, you can chain fire them and prevent any scans while you lazily dock your Anaconda (or even Type 9) full of smuggled goods. Military Outpost tested and approved.

You're welcome.

Heat sinks dont do anything. Yesterday i got scanned WHILE in silent running, WHILE at 0 heat (heat sink enabled), WHILE chaff is running, and at 4K away.

The npcs in the game are a joke.

It's been said enough times before. Stealth tactics don't work when the Feds are already onto you. Once you get that red writing on the comms panel, you can't hide from them, so no point in trying. It's best not to drop out of supercruise when you get the red writing. Instead wait for interdiction and play the mini-game. Do not submit to the interdiction unless you want to fight. When you lose the interdiction, you have two choices: Run away from them, which is very easy and safe - just keep boosting; or kill them, which has some risks. If you run away, they'll be back onto you, so do the mini-game and repeat until you win.

The game is a joke dude... i just got interdicted while jumping between systems and scanned while my ship is going through the animation. NPCs are a joke in this game.
