In the past I've read many many posts like the one I'm writting here. Always I wondered what is going on, why so many feel that trading with weaponless ship (especially T7) feels unsafe. I have played almost 350h and most of my time as a trader. Heck, my T6 had no shields. Never lost it. And with T7, I had never lost it to npc and only once to player. Until now. In the past week, I have lost my ship and cargo twice for NPC. Both times I felt I had no change in the world to escape, NPC's evaporated my ship so fast that my normal "boost away and if fired upon, make evasive strafes and throw chaff until fsd loads" just did not work. Overall when I'm interdicted, npc's feel much more aggressive.
I'm not sure if I'm even complaining, probably not. I'm just surprised it feels so drastically different. But challenge is nice, I just need to adapt. In current situation, I'm not comfortable my outfit at all, so upgrading is needed.
But bottom line is, am I just been lucky so far, or has it something to do with ranking up? Or maybe have they changed something in the game?
