Still getting shut down and shredded by impulse attacks and heat weapons everywhere I go. In my girlfriend's DBS, mind you, since my own account has no access to Horizons.

[UPDATE] A word from Frontier about NPC's, AI and Bi-Weave Shields
- Thread starter DustyArne
- Start date
Always a good initiative to transmit the information
I got hit with enhanced weapons today also they took my pythons shields down in not time even with shield booster. I thought they were gonging to fix this.....
I had a similar experiance. i'm in a asp explorer with class A sheilds, three sheild boosters which i believe stack and what used to be military bulk heads there some kind of D variant now i think. I was interdicted by a vulture with the message ' all that lovely cargo' of which i had none. On his first pass he took out my sheilds and inflicted 27% hull damage while i merly dimmed the outer ring of his sheilds. The post mentions 'for those needing a quick exit'. when your shields are down and a third of your hull gone and him behind you for the kill there is no chance your getting away. No sooner than i hit drive my thrusters were gone 2 seconds later as was i. It's akin to putting a one armed man with that arm tied behind his back and his shoelaces tied together in the ring with mike tyson and sayin go on lad 'get gud'. So i'm not seeing any changes here. Now i'm sure i read somewhere in the FD forums that this change was going to pc first and that xbox one players would have to wait but could be wrong
Did you have class 5 shields?
Well it happened again last night was out mining got jumped by clipper and was gone in 60 seconds this game sucks right now....
"PIPS IN WEAPONS" thats why your shields went toasty
I got gudder, you can too!

I mean come on..the only thing I ever complained about on this forum was those multi-cannons plasma accelerators and instant SCB recharges after a shield collapse.
Now that the issue has been fixed I don't mind the extra difficulty.
Just use your ships management better and you're good.

Don't read me wrong, I appreciate the new challenge a single ship brings to the encounter.
What I don't appreciate is the before mentioned Anaconda which prefers to spawn when I'm mid-encounter with that other thing.
There's pip management, and then there's not having fun anymore. I still have one of those things, but it's the lesser valued of the two.
True enough.
To be honest I had to quit powerplay because of the magnificent utopian overseers that just spawn behind you (not even a FSD deceleration drop) but a literal "HEY we're here to bust you up" in wings of 4+
THAT'S what I'm talking about.
That's broke, no gitten gud is going to help there.
FD gots to git gud at game making.
I guess I'm one of the few that hope to run into Elites in combat? I have an achievement to get!
Whenever I find a wanted Elite, 9 times outta 10 system security wrecks him before I can get a shot in. So damn frustrating. Deadly and Dangerous just mean a better bounty payout for me. Sure, I jump back to stations a lot sooner than expected with my tail between my legs, but AFTER I sent the NPCs to the rebuy screen.

I had a similar situation fully A rated fer de lance 4 a shield boosters class 5 shields, as many hull reinforcemnts as can be fit and and Class4a shield cells my shields dropped so fast i never had a chance for the bank to kick in, also i had 3 pips to shields 3 to weapons, chaff doesnt seem to even work at all, its near useless against a.i. now. bam less than 15 seconds against an asp scout and I tried running I have the highest thrusters possible 4 pips to engines at that point traveling 400 and they keep up like it's nothing, and the whole time it's yelling that I'm being hit with a thermal attack and my heat is sky rocketing, systems are getting destroyed. Now I'm out 4.5 mil. If this is considered fixed I want a refund.
Hey guys,
I'm not sure where I should have posted this comment but I couldnt find any forums related to Xbox horizons update bugs so I decided to just put it here.
I really want to bring this to frontiers ATTENTION because honestly I thought such a severe bug would have been dealt with before rolling out the new horizons DLC on Xbox one.
First of I want to say that elite dangerous and horizons are absolutely great and I have super fun playing them, you guys at frontier did great on that but my experience while playing horizons has been severely diminished and at this stage it's annoying the bloody hell outta me. There's only two problems that I have and I know that one of them is already being dealt with and that is the Advanced AI and unbelievable damage that they do. The other problem is with the game frequently/consistently crashing.
I have been finding it very difficult to play and enjoy the game because of the fact that my version of the game is always crashing. This happens around every 40mins and happens anywhere. I prefer trading over anything else in the game so that's what I mainly do and occasionally do some bounty hunting just to change things up. I used to roughly spend no more than 3hrs on the game now my patience has been worn thin due to the constant crashing. This has gone on since the 1.6 update and I thought it would have been fixed when I downloaded horizons. Before I got horizons I noticed the game crashed mostly when I was in hyperspace but since I got horizons it's happening anywhere and more frequently. I dont spend hours doing trading, I'm not a hard-core player, I spend around 2hrs and get around 5million, I recently bought the imperial clipper and had more than enough money to cover the insurance but on multiple times, the game has crashed during a dog fight with either another CMDR or just an AI and whenever I log back on I'm told that my ship has been destroyed. At first I wasn't bothered so much but it has happen to many times now and I'm sick of it. Now because I don't spend much time on because of the crashing bug so I only play for an hour and might make 2 million credits but then I get interdicted, this causes the game to crash and once again I lose my ship.
I would really appreciate it if frontier could help me on this matter or at least Inform me to whether or not this problem is common and if it's being dealt with, atleast that way I could give elite a break until it's fix rather than trying to have fun and losing millions in the process due to an error that is outta my hands.
Thanks

FD please fix this problem ASAP. I was just a couple million from buying my coveted Python until my cash flow started tanking due to constant interdictions and subsequent annihilations by these "uber-NPCs" that have appeared since the 1.6 update. I understand ED is a stellar stock market and you make no guarantee of monetary gain or loss... I mean it wouldn't be a game if there wasn't some degree of risk. When I'm out there I'm always prepared for an encounter...but not an encounter in which my enemy is firing green lasers at me and destroying me more times in three days since I have been since I got the ED preview one year ago.
Right now, Elite Dangerous is an exercise in futility, and I'm putting the game down until the AI is properly balanced.
Thank you for listening.

You are not alone my friend I am doing the same as well. Until I read that an update is coming I won't take the risk. The thing is, and have you noticed it's only sometimes that the a.i. most fights I can tell the a.i. is better at techniques and strategy that's fine. And out of the blue some fights your shields and hull are gone in seconds. Playing the game right now is a risk to my credit balance I feel. 4.5 mil rebuy is a few hrs of combat.
