Well here's a novelty today, a thread not about E3.
This is more about how persistent the AI has become since 1.3.
Here i am on trade run as usual, in my Type 9, (i lost one to a Vulture yesterday)
The AI is interdicting me on almost every run, sometimes 3-4 times.
In the video below, i had already be attacked by an AI wing, which included a Python, but i managed to run and get away, my hull was 89% and my shields still recovering, then i was interdicted by a Viper, as i was just going to Hyperspace, and i evaded him too.
Then on arrival at the next system, right next to the sun, the same viper had followed me and interdicted again.
This time i submitted, at first the viper did not attack, and i was wondering whether to hit the boost and run, or do something else.
Well i did something else, sick of running, i deployed weapons, this T9 has teeth.
Was a bit risky to be honest, not the best shields, and 472 tons of Palladium on board, but this persistent Viper was the last straw.
Want to see if i lost over 10m (rebuy + cargo) or if i managed to run, or something else. Watch below.
All good fun though, and before the experts pick my tactics to bits, remember, i am just a trader in a T9, not an expert combat fighter.
