Oh I agree, just a silly question, what ship did you loose to a mere python, did your rebuild cost much, and do you have a bank roll in excess of 200 mill, which used to be challenging to achieve, now, not likely . . .
For you Veterans of the game you have experience, huge bank roll, time, numerous impressive assets (which newer people will have buckleys chance in getting) and game knowledge.
Candy, yep I paid to play this, its a game, and the taste just got sour.
Am I allowed to complain about something I paid to play and previously enjoyed. . . Yes, I am.
As a kinda newish player this is my vent, my rant, my missus doesn't care and doesn't want to hear about it, so I post my opinion here.
Its My opinion, and thankyou for the whining candy reference, but I'm an Adult and not a child, this is a game I enjoyed playing, not a second job or something that should retract more time relearning.
I play this for fun. Its a Game . . .
I do agree, it's a game. However, a game that's too easy is like beating your little nephew in arm wrestling (which is why we let them win, at least its fun to see them smile). A game that's too easy just fails to be engaging.
Trust me, even for us that have been around for a while, these NPCs are as much of a surprise as they are to the new players. In fact, in a way its worse: we are used to easy to kill and shoot NPCs, so adapting to these ruthless NPCs is somewhat harder than learning it from scratch.
I was never big on PVP, so I didn't even get that kind of practice. PVP players are probably doing somewhat better than us.
And yes, I have been playing Elite since release. however, I spent more than the first half of my career exploring, and as you probably know, it's not exactly profitable.
So, I fly a Fer De Lance. Very well equipped, yes (or it was, until I had to tweak it for these new NPCs) and my bank account holds a mere 24m credits (20m now, after rebuy costs).
So well, I am definitely not rolling in the dough like some of the veterans that chose to push for that Anaconda ASAP. Personally, I care about enjoying the game, and I always like combat roles. One of the reasons I chose exploration was because combat was pretty boring. When you get to a point in which you can pop an Elite conda in less than two minutes, it's just pointless.
Guys, let's consider something. This is a good time to actually socialize and join on wings. Before it wasn't really necessary, but a wing of two or three could make short work of these NPCs. I, for one, love teaming up and killing things.

PS: I apologize for the outburst on my previous post, not directed at you or anyone else, it was more of a generalized thing. I am fairly active in the forums (I read more than I post) and between yesterday and today, I've probably seen 200 posts complaining about the same thing...
The problem is, since release, everyone complained about the opposite. NPCs were too easy, combat was boring, blah blah.
It's hard to determine what the Elite community wants. They always complain about something, then complain about the fix when that something is fixed, then complain again about the fix being removed...
O.O
