NPC teamwork in a combat zone; I just had to share this with you

[Draxxen]

I was in a combat zone earlier tonight, testing out different weapon loadouts in my Imperial Courier; I am not quite happy with sustained fire/dps yet.

The AI has clearly become more interesting, and I would dare say more than a little creative as well.
While hammering an Asp I got some unexpected help from an NPC member of my supporting faction, and I laughed pretty good from his/her contribution

Talk about shooting sparrows with cannons...

(Say: how do you embed videos in the forum post?)

That was awesome! (tried to rep you, but the forum won't let me )

That's true Conda style, soften them up with guns, then run them through

I had the A Team music in my head when the NPC did it's thing!

Great video

But but but, ramming is a legitimate tactic. I can hear that poor ASP pilot screaming as he is ground into space-dust.

Nice video and nice fire control to avoid the fine, +1

 

[Psycho Romeo]

I expected this exactly, and it still made me laugh.

I think I actually just stopped firing because I was baffled at the killsteal...

That was awesome.

Repped for making me laugh and remember why I love this game.

And that is why you never stop moving! What load out you running now/have you made up your mind on one?

 

[PhazonAran]

Ahahahaha, good laugh +1 Commander

I can imagine what went through this NPC's head : "Oh snap, an allied Commander needs help for this Asp ! ENGAGE RAMMING SPEED !"

 

[Neutronium]

That.. was EPIC! +1 to OP - had a great laugh

I have been running with 1 fixed beam and 2 multicannons for a while, but still not happy. I don't understand how one beam on the courier is so underpowered compared to 1 beam on the Vulture, even though the vulture has one class higher. I thought the difference would be little on medium and smaller ships.
Gotta say I love the shield strength though! But weapons are under-performing imho.

True EPIC!!!
