Hey guys :)

I have enjoyed playing this game a lot, however I stopped playing after having messed around (and liked) the wings update because of certain 'issues' (IMO) that got on my nerves.

Anyhow, I have just spotted the new update and was wondering if I should reinstall the game.

I would simply like to know (without any raging/trolling/flaming) ...

1) Have they changed the way people could just combat log?
2) Can people still farm offline, then come online with all their ships and cash?
3) Can you hire AI wingmen yet?
4) Is pirating a sustainable career yet?
5) Have they changed the way traders and pirates interact (as in the trader cannot simply jump away over and over again, or trigger happy pirates)?

I would very much appreciate if someone could answer these questions without resorting to getting mad/becoming insulting. I am NOT trying to cause a flame war, I simply would like to know.

Thanks in advance.

1) No, but it is now considered cheating (or exploiting, not sure of the right term), and is punished as such
2) Yes they can
3) No, not yet
4) I don't now, I'm not a pirate, but based on my readings it got better (maybe ? possibly?)
5) People can still easily escape after an interdiction, and there is still complains about trigger happy pirates and the lack of interaction between players

Ninja'd :)

4) Don't play as pirate so don't know. Pirates had an issue that only a certain amount of cargo could be dropped in an instance by the traders (to stop players tanking peoples FPS by dropping lots of cargo) - I think FD have un-nerfed this a bit in the last patch and its possible for pirates to get more cargo. I believe piracy is still pretty low paying though.
5) No - Traders can still high-wake (jump to another system) easily and pirates can still be trigger happy.

It's already been answered twice so I won't answer again but I am curious as to what you don't like about how wings function.

You know what? I do miss this game despite the issues I have with it. I'm going to download it now and jump back in my Vulture, see you all in the void soon! :)

One answer to rule them all: none of the things in your list has changed since the Wings update.

At least the Supercruise-Insta-Shield-Regen exploit was fixed
