Horizons NPC Deployed Fighters

[rrobes]

I had my first encounter with an Elite Anaconda NPC, during an interdiction, that deployed a fighter upon combat. The fighter powered up and I saw its shields go on line. I was looking forward to seeing how it behaved during the combat but it never engaged me at all.

It was destroyed when I eliminated the Anaconda.

I was wondering if anyone else had gone through a similar encounter and your results.[???]

I had today. I was not so lucky. I no time my thrusters were destroyed. And so was my ship.

I took on a gunship, left my fighter to fight the gunship, whilst my gunship attacked their fighter - it was very much having the better of me, so had to get my fightet to assist, bottom line, we killed the fighter first, as I thought it was the more dangerous, then the gunship.

The NPC fighter moved very well, but didn't achieve as much damage as I imagined. That said, my fixed beam Imp Fighter seems to just strip shields off all targets so quickly.

I've seen a few Fighters in RES areas launched from NPCs, mostly attacking other wanted NPCs. Never, that I know of, had one attack me.

The one time I attacked an SLF launched by a wanted criminal, I got a bounty for having attacked an innocent.

As a result, I ignore SLF and take out the mother ships. No hassle, and they pop quickly enough.--
