Hidden nerf on SLF.s ?!

[Homerzilla]

Lately, more exactly, since last 2 days, I start loosing SLF.s very fast, even vs Sidewinders ! My pilot is Elite, and until a week ago, she could take a Annie alone and do some serious damage - but for 2 days now, I start loosing SLF.s each 5 minutes, none seems to survive more than a fight - get banged immediately and ask for help - If I ignore she ( the AI SLF pilot) will die in seconds !

I enjoy mining in Haz sites, and usually I could stay 30-45 minutes / session at the cost of only 2-3 fighters - but hell, now I lost 6 fighters in 20 min - 6 attacks, 6 fighters out ...

I feel the FDevs did some crappy hidden nerf - because I do not change anything - same ship, same fighters load, same max out SLF pilot....

I cannot understand why now, suddenly, my SLF cannot survive more than one-two combats ....

Any of you guys noticed this ?.....

Mine isnt showing signs of struggling, she is improving by the day maybe it is the Npcs that have improved?

Could be.... but I cannot be sure, I only know my pilot could keep busy or/and "eat" half of an Annie HP pool, now is struggle against a Sidewinder.... and 1 of 2 fights she gets killed....
