Cobra vs Anaconda NPC solo

[Tacyon]

twin multi canon's with beams ... do I stand a chance by myself?

I've had to leave three times now and I can tell you the sound of 14psi pressing again cracked glass is not a warm sound.

I was really hoping that I'd come back to him to find him softened by my previous encounter. No such luck. Some how he gets repaired and back out quicker than I can !

Yeah, currently NPC's kinda cheat a tad that if you do a Sir Robin to supercruise they will always be back with full health, ammo and shields.

They've had "Phase 1" of the upgrades to AI and are much more difficult than before. After "phase 2" I would say that even the best CMDR's would struggle against an Anaconda unless they were in a Vulture or better ship.

 

[Tacyon]

hmmm, so I might be better off walking away and taking the fine?

last attempt was 47% hull for him and then he start poppin missiles at me ... cracked cockpit noises again. [shivers]

 

[Araviel]

get chaffs for all of your utility slots and spam them while you stay on his 6

 

[Eagle Eye]

I would say so. It makes more sense this way at least, I used to pop them with Sidewinders, not realistic at all...

Try Canons - target the Power Plant

May I suggest rail guns, beam lasers, at least 2 chaff launchers, cell banks. Don't let your shields go. Missiles can't do anything against shields but if you're really struggling with them, pack a PDT.

Spam chaff constantly, get close, target power plant. It's actually not that hard to hit the PP with rails. Under no circumstances let the Conda face you and keep a good eye out for its PA (if it's an Elite Conda, it'll have one in the huge hardpoint). You should be OK, good luck!
