Conflict Zones are Hell - LISTEN Frontier!

Special Killer Teams Alpha, Beta Gamma Delta: No help, no reward, making it impossible to win
I am a 10.000 kills Conflict Zone veteran.
And I HATE it.
- Special Forces attack teams (Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta) that are even MORE OP than the rest of the already massively Overpowered NPC participants, team up to kill me.
Since I play in open but solo my own faction is useless in the conflict zone. Hey, ever noticed, Frontier, that the NPC team in conflict zones is totally useless?
So everytime the Special Force killer teams shows up I need at least 20 Minutes to kill them. And I need all my resources to do so.
  • Ignoring them is useless because then the Entire battle will be lost 100%. Thus I have to single handedly kill all of them. Solo. No help.
  • After I killed them the battle will in all circumstances be almost done. Since the Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta-team DOESN'T EVEN COUNT as a KILL FOR MY FACTION, there is zero reward for killing the most difficult NPC by far that is out there, and I mean 1 against 4, sometimes 6 Overpowered ships at the same time.

ZERO reward. Only punishment and obstruction to achieve my task.

---> Frontier: I demand 10 Million CR. reward per killed Special Unit. And COUNT THEM as kill for my task regarding the faction. This is like fighting end bosses and getting NO REWARD at all.

Seriously, Frontier: did you even TRY to play your ridiculous Game settings yourself even once?

Those guys are tough and don't offer much reward. I believe Frontier have said they're going to be looking at buffing combat rewards this week though. Personally I'm hoping AX combat bonds will get a huge buff too.

Weird. I often find my own Spec Ops kill off most of the enemy ones .. are you sure you're a CZ veteran? ;)

And 20 minutes ... 🤔

(Though I agree they do make higher difficulty CZ less optimum if doing massacres, but then that's mainly about L2P - if I care about kill counts I choose low CZ 🤷‍♀️ )

But hey, I am no expert :)

I don’t see a problem with these. And as Fac said, you will find your own spec Ops knock out at least one of the opponents spec Ops.
With these CZ’s You will require a hefty modded and shielded ship with awesome fire power. I suspect also they are designed more for wings...
But bear in mind people do also complain that PVE is too easy even in hazres. Isn’t the CZa nice challenge?
To The Max !!!

For my highly engineered, high dps, fast Krait, Challenger, Cursader or Chieftain even the spec ops don't stand a chance when singled out effectively enough to not be ganged up on.
The main problem I have is that they are just never anywhere near worth the effort because of payout and not being mission targets etc. Hopefully these things will be fixed during this balance.

I've never had a problem with CZs. Yes, sometimes I need to leg it - but I don't want to be able to win all the time, where's the enjoyment in that? If you know you're going to win, it becomes a pointless exercise.

I can't remember the last time I lost a ship, though. Well, to a CZ rather than friends, that is. :D

(I should add... The times I've legged it are when I haven't been paying attention, and suddenly have attracted several enemies. Or, I've been shooting my own side by accident. :))

Warships are hard....who'd have thought it though.

And anyway, for the vast majority of a CZs usage its having to kill 8 / 12 / 20 ships to 'win' rather than the old style with unending soft targets and bonds.

CZ have been vanilla content. Gating them behind contrived grindwall was lazy game design of devs that dont give a rat's dinkle about player progress.
