No, there will be a patch. I mean the patch that will release the same time as Horizons.
[UPDATE] A word from Frontier about NPC's, AI and Bi-Weave Shields

Whatever that system-disabling nuke is that just shut down my shields, thrusters and weapons in less than five seconds AGAIN can rutting say "toodle-loo" from the game altogether for all I care.

I'm doing the CG right now and keep getting interdicted on the way to deliver the goods. I have had to change my fighting style to cope with these NPC's but I am glad in a way cos I have learned some very interesting points. It does annoy me that when I kill them I am not recieving any local bounties on who I kill. Is this a bug?
I think this may be a bug, I've been trying to remember to hit the gameclip record button when it happens but a Trader often forgets he has a dashboard camera lol
So, did the server side patch to switch off the modded weapons go live? I can't see any notes for it

I personally don't think so - Last night I was attacked by a ship with Heat Giving weapons - whilst fuel scooping 
to add insult to injury!

Are you sure you weren't just too close to the star? I was interdicted right next to a star and high waked out. I thought he was hitting me with heat giving weapons, nope. I was too close to the star when I charged my FSD.
Ships computer will warn you if you are under heat attack. Looks like the patch has not yet been pushed.

I heard that aswell while being attacked, but the damage it did was less.... Well, this is how it felt.. could be im just getting used to 1.6.
agreed frontier is making a good move by not making the ai potato brained and instead just opting to take away their engineer upgrades.
I agree with your experience. Even with 4 pips in sys my shields melt away constantly no matter if I'm in my 500 or so shield rated courier up to my 1k anaconda. Granted I also have the issue of everyone immediately targeting me and me alone the moment I join the fight.
Thanks.
I thought this was a server side update and was already in place? I just got attacked twice by ships using enhanced weapons...
A server side update filtered through on Tuesday Night, took a wee while to filter through properly to End users.
I believe until the Horizons update the High Ranked NPCs still have access to some low-level enhanced weapons.
I'd also say any old lingering code will vanish completely with today's PP Cycle

Normally there are patch notes though - I can't see that any have been released. Last night in the HAZRES it was business as usual for the steroid-enhanced NPCs!
Glad to hear that they're aware of this and are attempting to balance it.
I'm new to the game, and keep getting destroyed on a daily basis. Not fun. I want to do exploration, not combat, but I kept getting interdicted and destroyed in about 10 seconds with NO CARGO, not Wanted, no reason to be attacked. My new Adder was obliterated by a Viper with missiles who pursued me thru 3 interdictions, in Solo, with no cargo nor bounties, until they blew me up.
