You mean you've spotted some idiocy as a common scheme? There's something that doesn't quite fit into this raster though as a Corvette is involved in both cases, the OP and your quote above. Not saying Corvettes are invincible, but it's a ship you don't pull up as a total noob and on a single weekend. So I can assume this person (with the Corvette) has learned the ropes at least. Something smells fishy here and I'm very curious whether we'll hear some more anecdotes of this sort in the near future, preferably with video proof. I'm pretty sure that theoretically and technically it would be easy for FD to pull up such an NPC killer machine (even cheating!) that wreaks havoc on rare occasions.
But why would they want to do that in the first place? Maybe even the devs need some fun every once in a while or just need to vent some frustration.

Or, since everyone and his dog is complaining about NPCs being too easy and it's there way to tell us "careful what you're asking for". Or the victims of this killer machine where identified as cheaters and it's FD's brand new method to deal with these people, who knows? Think about it: the latter would be brilliant (even if self-praise stinks) and would totally justify a cheating NPC...
p.s.:
and don't blame his bad English. He wouldn't get the same attention from the devs when posting in the German forums so there aren't much other choices. Besides the brilliancy of my idea (

) I don't really believe the persons in question where actually cheaters. I mean, how daft can a human possibly be and still be able to fire up a video game? In which case I could see the whole dev team rolling on the floor open ended...
