My Game Is Stuck On Easy Mode....

...Help?

Lol

So this is my ship... Mission Running Python.
She has some mods, mainly overcharged PP, some lvl1 shield booster mods, DD3, and FSD range 5.
No weapon mods.
I'm also combat Rank Deadly.

And I've been using that, or a similar one for a while.
So far, no ships can destroy me.
Even Elite FASs, Clippers, Anacondas, FDLs, Corvette's are no issue.
Nothing.

Today, I decided to do a couple of stacked Massacre Missions in a CZ.
To my surprise, when I jumped in, a Farragut, and Majestic jumped in with me, and promptly began slogging it out against each other. (Best CZ ever!)
I spent a good 30 minutes there, almost finished my mission when the enemies stopped spawning.
So, I took the opportunity to pummel the Majestic Cruiser.
I was easily tanking it's fire, without the use of an SCB, or a chaff(don't even have one).
No other enemies in sight.
I'd long since ran out of missiles, and materials to Synthesise more.
All was going swimmingly.

Oh, and I should add, I was also carrying 108t of imperial slaves, for a separate mission. Lol
Plus about 10 data deliveries.
Plus Engineer cargo.
But I still decided to go to the CZ first... cuz'.

Anyhoo, out of literally no where.
I'm suddenly hostile to both sides!
I don't have turrets, and no one flew in my line of fire. (I was 400m from the cruiser I was firing on)
Not sure where that came from... But now I was sat between 2 hostile Cruisers, both firing all they have on me, plus about 5-6 other ELITE ships now taking pot shots.
It took me a while to even notice too.

All I can assume is the Feds got bored, and wanted a new target to play with. :D

So....


...I casually flew away.
Took minor hull damage, and made it back to supercruise.
Then promptly turned around and came back in.

Really?

My Python can tank 2 cruisers.
Who designed these things? I've met sidewinders with more oomph!

I can't seem to die. Not that i want too, but something isn't right.

Oh, on top of that, most of the ships seem to now enjoy bouncing off cruisers.
It's rather entertaining!

Additionally, when i returned, I quickly helped mop up the fighters again. Then did the exact same thing again.
Only this time I routed the Majestic Cruiser. And didn't somehow become Public Enemy Number One this time.

On the way back to the station, I got jumped by a wing........ of sidewinders.
Killed those.

Made several million credits. And my repair and rearm bill was paid for by the wing of sidewinders, 3 times over.

Can I Haz Hard Mode Please?
:D

We need a Haz CZ. Lol
 
I here ya, my anaconda is virtually indestructible. might try flying with the shield down just to get some fun out of it.
 
You are a pretty experienced player and your python is well set up for PvE so it isn't surprising.

I recently upgraded my FAS and am now ploughing through CNB like I was before 2.1 hit.

I see a ship in a wing I used to be cautious post 2.1 and pre decent mods, now I often can't be bothered to check his wing mates and just open fire knowing I can deal with it...
 
High-skill players are insufficiently recognized and applauded, and not worshiped enough, and as such, should be cannon-ized at once. :)
 
When I was enlisted, and stationed at Homestead AFB with the 308th, persons of such humility and modesty were introduced to the canals filled with gators, and deceased smugglers. :)

These canals ended at the Turkey Point nuclear power plant, for the finishing, glowing touch of deity they need.

Coral rock based sub surfaces under Miami requires the immensely expensive digging of such canals to channel runoff. Including those that run off their (redacted).

Might be a good idea to start doing some pvp. You will find it 10 times harder.

BTW I did see you in the community goal in Morai! I was the idiot interdicting everyone in my Sidewinder :D

I only used it once. And it wasn't for the capital ship(s). Lol

I was actually sipping my coffee, so I couldn't use the left trigger to fire it off.
Otherwise I would have left with full shields. Lol
 
Speak for yourself every time I take out my fully modded python I die and have to rebuy.
I nicknamed it the 6mil loss.
1000+ shields
1200+ hull.
Boosting at 400 .
Armed to the teeth still I lose it every time I leave the dock.
Yet my fdl is indestructible. And its barely modded.

How are you losing it?

I'm sure I'm playing a different version to everyone else....!!
I've only lost my Python to station guns so far... Which was unfortunate. Lol

My FDL is soooo indestructible, that i got completely bored of flying it. Lol

Surprising that you're still here, unless, you know, you're just running your mouth. [haha]

Sounds like you have a hard time with the python, it can be tricky to fly right for some, because it doesn't turn like the FDL, so you need to use trusters much more to compensate for its lack of agility, and of course not take on big groups. 2 max, as long as you do that, then it should be fine.

Mostly overpowered npc weapons and npc ramming.
Lost it once landing on a high g planet.
Hell 1 time I was killed by a wing of adders.
To me the python is a useless piece of junk than you are almost forced to have for missions to outposts.

Useless? I'm gonna pretend I didn't hear that.
