Took my first foray into 2.2 in SOLO with my Python, all A Rated, grade 1 Power Distributor mod, Combat Ranked Dangerous, and instead of the missions I had been doing before 2.2, I thought I would go back to Res Farming, fine, or so I thought.
I get to the Res (High Security), just easing myself into this, and see some ships on the scanner, weapons out, so I start to scan. Anaconda wing of 2 with a Clipper (both wanted and dangerous). I think I will try something less risky, looking to target another ship to scan, I'm been scanned, by who, an Adder also Dangerous, by now other ships are scanning me as well, comms panel "what you got, give me your cargo, other demands and there are about 15 to 20 blips on my radar........ Bang just been shot at by an Elite Eagle and as I take evasive action to try and get position on him nearly all the other ships open up on me......Red Triangles flashing Shields down, boosting, chaffing, Bang Bang Bang down to 36 % hull, engines disabled, NO INTERNAL SECURITY SHIPS to help out. So I did something, had to do something I have never done before, Combat Log. Escape to main menu (15 second wait) out of it. Phew. Log back in, go back to station, 200,000 repair bill.
Now this particular Res site has been a happy hunting ground for me before 2.2, a Friendly system with green internal security flying about and some nice steady Dangerous to Elite wanted ships.
Well I do not know what to think, is this how it is going to be now, always outnumbered and not able to fight back. I hope not.
I do not mind Dangerous, that's the name of the game after all, but impossible, please no.
