I hadn't expected this!..

I talk back to the NPC's out loud when i get stuff like that over comms. It usually goes something like:

No you don't state what power management you were using, by pips we mean 4 yellow dots on systems, you change that on the fly through power management in combat, my impression is that you had no pips on system and of course you got blown up, when you don't put at least 3-4 pips on SYS when hit , your shield melts like ice in the sun, did you have a Military level armour ? 15 seconds is weird, not even my FDL gets destroyed that fast when hit by several Cobras, it still takes minutes and I would have the time to jump to the closest system, you should definitely record a video and post it, the most similar situation I saw in a video was a player Anaconda fighting a npc Vulture, the Anaconda gets blown up in 20 seconds or so, the video clearly showed player had half pip on SYS, meaning his shields were melting really quick, his armour got tthen destroyed in a few seconds, this is why I asked you about how you were handling power management cause it is as important as having good modules on your ship.

Yet again read the OP!! I Wasn't in anyway destroyed/annihilated/melted/creamed/ smoothed over a cracker/ Barrelled/Two tuppenced/ or inconvenienced in any way shape or form.

My pip management is fine thanks, my layout is fine, my build is fine.

That will be why I destroyed the NPC in 15 seconds... not the other way around!!!!!

Focus on this bit 'Last dying words...'

"I knew I would find you and all that tasty cargo!"

Are you planning on eating it?!?!

How's about NO, you weird        ...


"I heard a rumor that you were..."

Hold on. Stop right there. You "heard a rumor" that I was carrying some cargo?

I've only had this in my hold for 2 minutes. News travels fast. How many type-9s did you bypass to find my one little ASP Explorer 30 LYs away because it had a couple of microweave cooling hoses in its cargo hold???

It is the same as "I was waiting long for a juicy cargo like this" when my ship cargo space is either totally empty or contains 2t of Praseodymium for Engineer. :)

Yup. I had some engineer cargo totalling less that 1500 CR in value. You'd be amazed how many Elite ranked pirates wanted my "juicy cargo."
 
You really, honestly need to read the original post again (Yes, I wrote out Original Post Again)

Look for the words 'Vapourised' and '15 Seconds'

Did you boost away from the AI, or towards and past it? This has a serious connotation for how many weapons the AI can train on your position. And survivability.

I didn't get touched ;) The NPC got the 15 second treatment.

I'm loving the AI at the moment, it's as dumb as it's always been.

To be fair I have died once since 2.1, that was totally my fault though, If i would of thought I could of got away intact.

Npc competent Cobra interdicts a Deadly player, in a fully kitted Anaconda, in a high security system. NPC gets vaporised in about 12-15 seconds.

Last dying words... "I hadn't expected this"

Just really sad, what hope is there to balance NPCs if they can't balance dialogue.

If they said nothing in the heat of the moment, it would be ten times more believable. Next thing I expect to to here as they spiral at 0% health is 'Can I add you on steam'.

he didn't expect that, thus you were interdicted. he was probably looking for rhymerhyme.. maybe you have a sticker that says: "I [heart] Robigo" in the ship? that could also confuse some NPCs!!
