But video games should be. Some of us get enough realism at work all day.
Then do something else. Exploration is pretty sedate, by all accounts.
Leave piracy to those who like a bit of challenge in their after-work video games.

Could you please share on youtube how you doing NPC piracy after April downgrade. I want to see very much.
PvE piracy needs some love!pulls out glasses well that's cute. people still think piracy is a thing.
There is a way to stop drifting ships, but it takes some training to apply it regularly. Since NPCs below competent don't reboot, you can easily train it in anarchy systems.
When the ships drives are destroyed, it will drift in one direction. Instead of using hatchbreakers, try matching it's speed carefully and get a little bit ahead of the ship. Switch to FAoff to turn around or to position your ship so that it's broadest side is turned toward the drifting ship. The hardest part is to get in front of the ship while maintaining the direction. When you're there enable FA and throttle to zero immediately. The other ship will crash into yours, but won't take much damage, since your velocity matches it. This will slow the other ship down and it will most likely start to tumble. If you're lucky, the ships velocity is already slow enough to plunder it, otherwise repeat the manoeuvre. The only problem is, if you hit the ship from the side it will just behave like a pinball and only change the direction.
Obviously the "Oil tanker" view of the corvette helps to see what you are doing. A Krait on the other hand will probably find this more difficult.

I'm flattered that you would seek my mentorship, but my Squadron is currently involved in a conflict which will be occupying what little game-time I have - so that's a no.
Instead, I'd recommend re-reading the advices offered in this thread.
Like i said early in this thread: people that support the changes don't even do npc piracy OR not play the game anymore.
Highlight of the TOP advices of the "pro-pirates" HAHA
- Destroy the drives, then "BUMP" the ship until it stops. (Nobel prize for the creativity for this one)
- Collect the cargo while moving (HAHAH The guy that say this one really don't login in the game for like 2 years?)
- Scan the high wake and jump with the NPC to all the systems he goes. (Funnyyyyyy)

I'm guessing you're not going to like what I'm about to type, but this is exactly what I've been asking for!!! Now I'm not ready to believe you 100% until I see it for myself (which won't be until after the next update), but if this is truly true then:
Sarah Jane, you are BRILLIANT!!!
I'm taking off 50 sins from this latest update! (like that guy on YouTube)
Sorry OP, but this is how these cargo and passenger hauling NPCs should behave (just like your average players would). Ask the griefers, they know how to stop players from escaping, surely the same tactics will work here.
FREAKIN AWESOME
Oh, and to answer your question, I'd personally equip hatch breakers and FSD Disrupting dumbfires. Timed right, you should at least get a good portion of the cargo before they can finally jump clear.
Since most of that advice is from me, I'll answer this. I'm actually actively playing and earned roughly 100mil in three half hour sessions of piracy, while still figuring out how to do it.Like i said early in this thread: people that support the changes don't even do npc piracy OR not play the game anymore.
Argumentum ad hominem, and a failed attempt at that. My second CMDR account is named after a real-life pirate, and I've done my share of PvE piracy using this account (and some using Duck's account as well). As for playing, I admit that I'm not playing the current update because of all the bugs, and that my excitement is based on the description of the new AI. After all, I was one of the many who asked for this change in the first place because PvE piracy before the update was unrealistic and unchallenging. Once we get an update to the update (that fixes all the bugs), I'll jump into my pirate ship and test the system for myself. I have faith it will be great, as the "better angels" of this thread have already confirmed that it's exactly what many of us have been hoping for.Like i said early in this thread: people that support the changes don't even do npc piracy OR not play the game anymore.
I think this is a reasonable request. I wouldn't mind seeing such a video for myself, not because I need proof, but because there are people in this thread more experienced than I am that I would love to learn from. The fact that pirating is now challenging enough that a two year veteran like myself can still learn more in this regards, that thrills meCould you please share on youtube how you doing NPC piracy after April downgrade.

Will these CMDRs just sit there and let me milk them like a cow? Because I like my piracy to be relaxing after a hard day of real lifeJoin the Dark Marauders and rob CMDRs.
Other video games are available.
The shield tank diamond mining mechanic wasn't even gameplay. Shoot once. Spam Limpets. It led to people engaging in Piracy who clearly aren't cut out for it.
Prove me wrong, keep changing tactics until you figure it out.

Could you please share a link?We have been streaming how to do it on twitch since the update last Tuesday.
