The new AI really loves rail gun and PA

[Kobune]

Got a "good" instance in my home HIRES and there were full of elite pirates (instead of only elite miners like yesterday), although nothing bigger than Cobra/Courier. It seems everyone was equipped with either rail gun or PA of the highest class possible. Now the triple-elite wings really hurt There was also an amazing scene of four cops Anacondas and a poor Adder exchanging PA shots The payout was okay but nowhere close to a really good instance in 1.2. The aspect I like the best is that I progressed 23% from Master to Dangerous in a little over 2 hours. Btw, I made 10% during the past whole week.

I'm glad you're enjoying the game!

RES, as fun as it may be for bounty hunters, isn't for you guys anymore, and I don't think FD ever intended for it to be that way, or at least not mainly for you. It's for miners and pirates now, but the fact that you still enjoy it is very good!

The same cannot be said for many others on this forum.

I've read your opinions in other similar threads but cannot quite agree. It will never achieve a healthy balance in RES when miners and pirates are the only players there. Without proper control, pirates will rob the last ton of metal from miners or blow up anyone who refuses to cooperate. Bounty hunters have to be there to form a complete food chain.

Plus, Michael Brookes have admitted that the current states of RES are results of bugs and not working as intended. https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=155240&page=3&p=2380319#post2380319
