Game difficulty increased three fold since release of 1.6

[Micky Jay]

I have played this game enjoyably for many hours but since you released version 1.6 the difficulty has increased to the point that I'm considering stopping playing.

Is this increase part of your design? Is it part of the new mission system?

I tried to start a ticket but that failed so I'm posting my question here.

Regards Mike

Hey Mike, what do exacly you mean by difficulty?

I have found the game notibly more difficult however, since the latest patch it has got better. I actually think it is more realistic now. Previously I was taking down Pythons and anacondas in my poorly equipped Fer de Lance but since the update I now need to choose my oponents more wisely and have bought military hull and shield boosters that I didn't need before.

It feels to me that perhaps the game is not too difficult now but was too easy before?? Maybe a matter of opinion.

Thanks for replying guys, by difficulty I mean the killing power of the NPC's I'm now in a 'conda with all the options trading but I get wiped out by an NPC on average every 15 hours of game time.
