that was the biggest issue of the update... Almost every npc had uber mods and almost every interdiction resulted in you facing an elite npc with modded weapons and a left you flying a big fireball (very briefly)
is it at least playable now? Or shall I go back to Overwatch?
i feel able to play now, though it is still a nervous time when i get into a furball now. fun though
i have been thinking about the NPC not responding to being attacked scenario. assuming its possible they run out of ammo for their weapons, and they cannot fight back, they may be trying to get clear and high wake? but the vid i saw they were not trying to evade fire on its way out an asteroid field. so that may not be it. i think if it IS to do with that the npc who doesnt turn and fire after being in combat has run out of ammo thats a nice touch - but they have to try and evade fire if so. in any case its a bug in the AI needing fixing. i would feel guilty shooting an enemy in that situation npc or not.
on the controls note: not everyone can use hotas even if they bought one. i do not know if one would work on my laptop but i have wired usb xbox 360 controller. however i dont use FA-off and i dont think i know how to even do that. the great thing about controllers is, two sticks with buttons when you press them down, a d-pad and 8 other buttons. in combat i dont need to take my hands off the controller. i do wind up using button combinations or button + dpad a lot. hold X and either bumper will change firegroup. hold A and down on dpad targets highest threat etc. dpad on its own can set pips and set pips to default again. its very convenient for me but maybe i lose some of the tricks you need to get to elite.
