Engineers Anyone else feeling like a Matador "Oleeeeeeayyyy"

[Vdiff]

Well Cmdrs,

Has anyone else experienced in the High Res Areas the NPC's tactics of ramming?

I have had a Cutter, FDL, FDS, Anaconda, Eagle and last but no least Sidey (it did not end to well for the Sidey[big grin]) all of the above either succeeded in ramming my ship or came very close within a gnats testy in hitting my ship. Also I noticed from when the Cutter rammed my ship (as i was not quick enough to put 4 pips to shields) my weapon modules were at 80% as the cutter hit the nose of my ship where my weps are on the FAS. When this happened i started to experience weapon malfunctions, lasers would fire and then look like they were at half power with the beam instead of being a thick stream it was a weak and looked at half power if that.

Since the toys have been taken away from the NPC's they are protesting [big grin][yesnod]

I fly a corvette and the NPCs really try not to ram me. Havent faced a cutter in 2.1 yet so I dont know what will happen, but I think they do some sort of decision making (probably based on what you are flying) when they decide to ram or not to ram.
