Do not take this as a moan, i am loving the majority of changes in 2.1, and i still believe it is a great update.
But yes, things are DANGEROUS out there, really dangerous, i have been mining all day, mainly for the good stuff and to get more materials.
First ring i went to, i was mining happily when a deadly Python with thermal weapons hit me, shields went down pretty quick, i couldn't get out of the ring quick enough to jump/ Scratch one Anaconda. 15.4m
Second time, went a bit further out to another pristine metallic, chose a rez site, was mining for a bit, shooting down the odd easy pirate as they attacked me, with some i didn't even move, my turrets did the job whilst my collectors still "collected". Until another deadly Python came along, i shut my cargo scoop, boosted, and returned fire, pretty quick, another thermal attack, and shields down and 65% hull. i retracted weapons, and managed to escaped to SC, heading to the nearest station for repairs, just as i was only 20ls from my SC exit, interdicted, it was the same bloody Python, my shields already down, i was easy meat for the grinder. Scratch Anaconda no 2. 15.4m.
So, ok i needed somewhere safer to mine, i went to Algol, uninhabited, must be quiet there. Restocked and new ship i jumped over there, and yes, it was peace full, quiet, no other ships around and so i mined away for hours, brilliant site for gold, osmium, silver, them metals the engineers use was also there, (semen or something one was, lol or similar)
Anyway, had over 200t of all this good stuff, so i decided to travel back, get some rep with Tod by selling him most of this stuff. On his page he says he wants good stuff.
Well almost there, 2 jumps to go, interdicted, that Python again, probably different pilot, but same lethal ship, got me down to 28% hull before i could leg it out, on arrival in tods system, on my way to planet, almost going into orbital cruise, interdicted again, this time a deadly Anaconda, within seconds i had a thruster malfunction, could not jump, could not escape.
Scratch Anaconda no 3. 15.4m
So over 46m gone today, 3 Anaconda's, and i rage quit and came to the forums, but not to moan, just to tell my story, and i hope you realise just how dangerous 2.1 is, and yes i still love the game-play, i was excited, scared, really annoyed as well, but i felt like i had played a game.
I am sure some tweaks are needed, maybe AI is a little tough, but god, this is now a real tough game, and how much have you guys lost in the last few days, anyone with more loss than me.
