has happened since the the last patch (2.1) The NPC are attacking and are much stronger. I'm in a Clipper with 2 large (class 3 Beams and medium class 2 beams) before I could hold my own for a good fight with a large ship and even several smaller ones, but not now! I am being knocked to S**t by a couple of eagles?!
If I do manage to target them their shields are much stronger and my beams now overheat (never did that before) and I would typically swat them with a few passes. Now I usually don't even get time to deploy weapons and target an enemy before I am down to 30% hull and shields knock out. All NPC that have attacked me now seem to have custom weapons (noticed the symbol under my HUD when hit) that rip me to shreds in less than 20 seconds.
The first time this happened to me was yesterday when I landed on a planet and (to check out some Barnacles) as soon as I landed (literally touched down) it jumped in and strafed me to pieces with massive heat damage, luckily I managed to out run them by boosting.
Then a couple of USS with a Threat 1 or 0 and I scan a message or collect something and BAM jumped on again so now I have to run as I am down to 40% before I know what is happening?!
And just now and the reason for writing this I go to USS at level 0 (debris field) Threat scanned a message and a Python jumps in and kills me in less than 20 secs.
I wont be playing again until this is fixed as it is clearly unbalanced, this is making the game no longer a fun.
For the record I am not Wanted or being attacked to due PowerPlay factions etc as I am neutral
PLEASE FIX IT!!!
