I used to do a lot of NPC piracy back in the day. Back then we only had to destroy the NPCs Power Plant and loot away. This was until a change was made that meant NPCs weren’t disabled by reducing their PP to 0%. This was no biggie, we soon found a method of destroying the Power Plant and then Thrusters to achieve the same result. So Fdev responded in kind by not only giving NPCs the ability to use the reboot/repair, but to do it instantly and without cooldown, and on top of this Grom Bombs don’t even work on NPCs. At this point I quit piracy as most of my targets were simply either getting away because they could instantly repair their FSD and bail, or getting destroyed from me constantly having to take out their FSD to stop them from running.
I have recently been working on a cutter build to get back into piracy when I found out today that apparently NPCs no longer carry LTDs??? So I ask you Fdev, how else are you going to stiff the pirate player next? I really can’t see what else you can do to ruin the fun for pirates, you have completely killed this area of game play. Please do something to make piracy fun and worthwhile again.
