I have came back to Elite Dangerous after 3 months of break. Decided to check new engineers upgrades. I had to Fly 500ly to get Meta-Alloy. When I got to destination system I got interdicted... yes there was no way to escape so I had to submit my self. Oh that were 2 cobras it's why I could not probably escape the interdiction. Let's see what they want... ok they shooting at me so let's turn them to dust and get to the station and buy those Meta-Alloys. Hold on hold on... my shields are almost gone! what the hell? (I have 7A prismatic shields with 8 shield boosters) and two cobras took them almost down they were cutting it like a butter before I could get good view to aim at one of them!.
Ok no problem I have plenty of shield cell banks so I should not be worry! let poop few and get back to (turnign cobras to dust job) damn those cell banks do more damage then those cobras to my modules! My ship is on fire!!! sadly I didnt got any extinguisher with me. ok my shields are full now! lets get back to killing stuff! Damn they are so fast and they out maneuver me so easily. My shields are almost down again lets switch to another cell bank. Damn i have to wait till they boot up! oh my shields are gone 15min to get them back online. so lets fight without shields. I can get more pips to engines and weapons since i dont need to keep my shields up. Yeah i got one         to 1% and wait wait he is running away from me let's chase him and finish the job! oh he is too fast and on my tail I have another cobra... so let's switch target ok second cobra shields down 50% hull with this one is going much easier... damn the second cobra is back... I have 20% of hull and i dont see any chance to get those two cobras down before they destroy me. so lets logout!
Ok i logged back heading to station repair bill 1.2 Million. Well still better than paying insurance worth 30milions.

I had probably bad luck forgot how to fly or how to shoot!
I get Alloys get back to the place where i can upgrade my modules... hmmm there is nothig worth of upgrading anything i want to upgrade is not worth and require materials that who knows where to find!

Ok maybe anaconda is not worth those 600Milions i paid so lets buy Corvette! damn i dont have rank to do it let's make some mission to get rank i want...
We need to find some missing Chemicals in Unidentified signal sources ok here we go first signal source let's drop here...
Damn we got 3 Ellite anacondas my shields went down before my shield cell bank poped. Didnt took out even shields on one of the anacondas...
Let's get out of here...
Damn im mass locked! and I have 30% of hull
let's alt f4 and go play Hello Kitty! to get out all that stress made by thinking i can lose 30millions for insurance

Spend nice amount of time to get anaconda and now it's useless against 2 cobra's! something is rly wrong with the mechanics here guys! why I have damage penalty against smaller ships!?!?!
I should make BIG hole in the cobra hull with just one bullet from my HUGE! multi cannon. but u made some kind of damage cap! (so big ships are not over kill to small ships)

Just because i have spent a lot of hours to get this anaconda i will not change back to cobra! or anything smaller then anaconda I will just stop playing this unbalanced game!

FLy safe commanders!
Good bye all!
 
well the game is nuts now with the previous seasons SCB nerfs and this season's AI BUFF - the double whammy kind of takes the game out of the favor of Casual players and catering more to the HardCore. I sympathize with the OP. I'm down 12 million because of the hardcore-player-love. I hope a buff in SCB and a drop in insurance is on the cards if the AI is to remain the same.

But... but... if our 600.000.000 cr ships could kill a 8.000.000 cobra easily that would totally be against Frontiers glorious balancing attempts. And all those fighter pilots would whine that they cant solo a Conda or Corvette. So we have to life with the fact, that ships not even nearly scale with what you have to do to get it. So sad
 
Yeah, they kind of went to extremes with the new NPC's.

Before they would do their crazy spin on the spot destroy me please moves, now they shoot, run, shoot , run, shoot run and have modded weapons.

They should nerf one or the other.

Make the AI a little less buffed or remove the modded weapons, giving them both makes them OP against most players.

The fact that it takes us hours to grind out the modded weapons makes it even more unfair, casual players will probably never have the time to grind out the modded weapons and the poor 1.6 players dont even have access to them in the first place.

It all seems a little back to front and upside down with the NPC's right now.

Still the new station audio and mission UI is lovely....
