it is? o.0 Doesn't it just mean somebody that wants an easy game with no consequences? I didn't know you couldn't use that term here. Sorry, I didn't read post #1 on this thread.
it means that in the bad way though

You aren't being penalized, you just aren't given a bonus like the players who are playing in a more populated, and thus more risky, area.
<grins> If it was a pub round here, the ninth would probably just nut you!
I can only go so far. I mean, I could make AI ships target Power Plants as players do, but they don't right now. And their SCB usage is limited, even on Elite ships. Perhaps that should change...
It feels good that people are generally enjoying the AI update.There's much more on the way... Mama's teaching her little ones new tricks...
I'll also be trying to appease everyone by making the lower ranks fun for beginners while ramping up the higher ranks for the more experienced player. Tricky perhaps, but at the end of the day the aim is to make the game fun for everyone.Oh, BTW I'm loving my work!
Perhaps it shows...
She did mention in passing that part of her task was to ensure that the ranking of NPCs was reflected in their combat style and abilities. Can't find the post, sorry. Everything I saw before heading back into the Black suggests that this is already happening, though no doubt there will be plenty of behind the scenes tweaks to come.
All seems fine in the galaxy to me.
Dryer than James Bond's martini...
Given the fact that there are well in excess of 500,000 copies sold, to hope that Frontier would change the game to suit one player (or 100, or even 1,000) would seem a little ambitious....
But I won't ask Steve because that would turn into a three hour monologue.

500,000 copies is nothing compared to some games. If Frontier made the right decisions, that number could quadruple. Also, if you cut out Open play and only had Solo play, I'm willing to bet more than half of the playerbase would drop. If Frontier had to choose one mode, it would undoubtedly be Open.

Never say never.
Is that the pub where the real men play darts and the non regulars have to hold the dart board?
My math sense is tingling![]()
Neither of these are the one I was thinking of but it demonstrates how NPC difficulty is a balancing act and deliberately dialled down from it's potential.
"Some people want EZ carebear mode" isn't against the rules. Where in that sentence did I insult you? cmon.
