ok I ll write it again
I simply wont play till this is fixed ! its not fun at all to loose every fight ! the money needed from each lost ship is far to much compared to the time it takes to get a new ship. I have a top of the line flight stick and super comp and consider myself above average player. there is no fun in this type of hardcore npc now I just started playing this game like a month ago. if you top end players are having fun with this its because you have to time and the money to do so . the rest of us are screwed to a extremely slow grind with little to no rewards. not going to be fun for you either once everybody leaves from frustration.
it does take time to bed the game in properly.. and its knowledge as much as dexterity. as you advance and gain ranks, gain or loose reputation, travel into different types of systems etc, the npc aggression and ability changes also. i have a neurological condition, that causes spasms in my hands, and a persistent tremor in my neck/head, sometimes combat can be awkward for me.. sometimes amusing.. sometimes i fail bad, and that is before taking the game into account.
it took me a good 6 or 7 months to get to grips with combat enough that i can adjust when they change things, or i move to another area, i still get schooled if i don't pay attention to where i am or what i'm doing though. the game will not change for you, so you can choose to continue playing, developing your skills and knowledge, trying different system types and different combat environments. you could watch youtube tutorials, follow twitch streamers like RheaAyase (great pvp'er always more than happy to talk skills and tactics) or neon_raven (very chilled dude, happy to do the same, and he always has good tunes playing) or you can admit defeat, stop playing the game and have wasted your money.
this game will not hold your hand.. play or don't play!
