obviously you will tell me....

Today an ASP ai just "face-tanked" my python, and you know what? my A6 prismatic double A booster shield was down before the ASP shield :D

So it's not about the fact that IA is better(it's was necessary), it's about numeric value. without modded ship you can't stand for long against modded ship, because they have better speed, damage, resistance., special damage...

this mean that the engineers are important to fight, just go and use it?
Not so fast.
I spend 1 day to unlock 1 engineers and another 1 day just to have the good materials for only one lv1 modif on my shield....
Seriously?! Something so important should not be so hard to access, at least for the firsts levels. i can't imagine how a beginner could even try to start Elite today...

Another issue for me is that because you need to travel a lot to do this you get also interdicted regularly (by full modded ship). it's no working well.
Each super power should have all type of engineer on the influence area, because actually if you are involved in power play you must go in area where you are flagged as enemy.
And of course you get interdicted.

Somme adjustment are needed in my opinion.

This was an issue I saw in Beta, clearly no one listened. Last time I played ED before Beta, I was Bounty Hunting an a High RES with my full A python, military grade armor, Prismatic shields, 3 shield boosters, 230 mill in the ship (with discount), Within seconds of loading the game, my shields were down, I didn't even have time to "re-adjust", deploy weapons, look at contacts, check my surroundings, read my 10 mails and so on. Luckily I was far enough away from the belt to activate jump, I couldn't boost away from the Anaconda chasing me, no security in sight, FDLs and Pythons also scanning me and so on. It was a disaster, and in my opinion, the game is broken.
