This was my first time back in ED for several months. I drop into 2.2 without any prior knowledge of what to expect, especially in combat against NPCs. I had a fun time bounty hunting...in my python. I recognize that the python isn't the best ship for this job, but I don't care. It is tough, agile enough, and packs a fantastic punch for its size. I was able to rack up nearly 500k in bounties while not using all of the ammo in my MCs. I even went one on one against a dangerous FDL, and won. Not saying that it was easy, but it was the appropriate amount of challenge. This fight was why I had to go repair, but it was worth it, and the fight was fun. I think that the NPC combat AI has found a good balance. The higher ranked NPC pilots perform better than the lower ones, but there is no giant spike from one rank to the next.

Glad you made it Cmdr. Well done.
I am never in haz res. I don't hunt there. The only time i would is if i where in an FDL will all the bells and whistles AND if i had a wing to back me up. Possibly one wingman that has a bunch of ship launch fighters and the mother ship stays out of the main combat area.
