what u think about npc's dificullty?

[aielman]

weeellll i never have probs doing missons against nomads- even on the 1 mill jobs.
(even flying a viper)  
the only thing that bugs me is in osiris they fly right through the rocks... sigh.

other then that.. im voting "i think they fly good"

rock on m8s

[Morey]

lol, the npcs are so easy, i think you need to work on your aim or something, cuz i do missions against nomad valkyrie's and it only takes me less than 5 minutes

[Serpentine]

So make NPS's CHAR, take anubis and equip it with fast guns, then try

[Sith]

[quote="NoMaadd";p="147829"]in my oppinion npcs fly too unreal like flyes.

for egzample they almot not attack just spin .

go to NY and u will see that patriots just spin spin around u and hes only one he not attack u from straight.

i do mission against nomads valkyrie n1 take me more then 30 min's coz they move too much and almost never attack, but if attack only from behind

so i made poll vote !!!!![/quote]i dont get it.......

i always get my characters a nomad rep by killing monkeys, robots and the order, but early on i kill the nomads too.
so sometimes im fighting more than 10 ships, and i still take em all out in less than 15mins.

can you post what ship ur using, what weapons, shields, and other equipment u have on it.
most of us will be able to work out if its ur setup, you, or ur connection with the server lol.

ps: ok, maybe we wont be able to tell if its you thats the problem  :D

ok i will sound in on this , npc on the void are hard to new players when you first start they are faster  and regen but once you get use to the speed and put togeather a good gun set up they are easy. as some already said the nomads use to be very hard when they were useing 2 screamers with all those lazers but now they are pussy cats.

i think it was nomadd that said you were using a demos to kill npc. are you kidding? you dont have any power or guns to kill with no wonder it takes you forever. i have 6 guns a turret and a cannonball and torp. i have set my ship up with big hitters and fast gun combo and can shoot for over 15 sec without ever running out of energy. also if you are trying to pvp the npc you are waisting time. turn and shoot leave the engine kill alone unless you need to let your shield regen. i dont even use my torps  any more and rarly use my missles and can run a 1 mil mission in about 10 minutes that is killing all the bad guys and the good guys (bounty hunters hybreads) totalling about 30 to 35 kills.

when you kill npc go with a big ship leave that little wimp ship at home or use it for pvp one on one. the only good thing about a little ship that is fast is that you dont get hit as much. but you kill way to slow. trust me on this i know a little something about killing big npc on this server.

ps.. the jumpy npc are not normal i have had that problem latly also but if you check with ping plotter you will see that a few of the nods just before you connet with the server are running some real crazy ping numbers right now. so its not the server or our computer but the route we use to get to the server.

here is the question how many of you use bot and bats during npc killing?

[NoMaadd]

well if you guys see this topic is about 5 months old

but anyway thanx for advices .....

i like pvp but sometimes doing some missions , however i managed to do 1 mill mission in my deimos but its really not a npc killing ship .....

well in tose days i posted that i was kinda noob , dont know about now but i am learning

i agree that anubis or gladiator could kill those little jumpy beast very fast .

yeah like aielman said ( totally agree with you m8 ) its annoying when npcs going straight through the rocks

If someone is having problems with coping with some npc missions, that person should look at their ship and weapons layout.

If you're flying a WA1 with a sniper setup, don't expect to breeze through a 800k mission in 5 minutes.

I fly an N1 equipped with 6 punishers and 2 blasters. It works well against most npc shields and the punishers deal consirable damage. All the guns' particle speeds are the same, 800 m/s, so it's much easier to hit evasive targets.

Personally, I think the Void's npc difficulty is nearly perfect. I play on another server where the npcs regen like mad and manuever like no human player can. A 600k mission may last as long as 15mins on the average. We have it good here folks.

[Asmodeus]

Sorry to say this but I think thay are too easy i have nealy 43000 kills to my name.  >:)

[rene]

most of my kills are nomads, i have 3 chars lvl 90 just because of nomads
as u know(asia has a very high ping) i lag all time and my average ping is like 330
but it dont take me 30 mins to finish even the maximum pay mission
i admit nomads are hard and sometimes frustrating when u lag(imagine firing upon a nomad in front of u and u cant hurt him :-< )

i think the difficulty on NPC's is just fine and average

cya all in space have fun

ok i agree with burn on ship and gun set up, go big or go home in a body bag.

asmodeus  you have been here since the beginning of this current mod 2114, ( burn that is the mod we are on not old mod, old mod was 2015) and 43000 not bad i took a 6 month break because my char on the old mod was player wiped, and at the time i had worked up to 25 on the global server, so i needed a break, but now i have 61000 kills again . that is my main char not counting my lev 76 irionman and my secret fighter test ship.

just messing with you old allie buddy  :D  :D

oh and burn baby those of us who npc kill here know how you get those kills and what you are killing, but i am navy and dont want to mess up my rep so i go a little slower route of about 120 kills an hour. but you do have a good method for racking up numbers if you dont care about rep.

at least you dont set in new york and kill lev 3  npc at 200 an hour for 8 hours a day just to get your name on the top of the list. that would bore me to tears, if the npc cant kill me given the chance, its just not fun.

@ Asmo - You great big show off .....!

I go NPC hunting with the Anubis and the Annies setup with a couple of rockets to boot  - I can get through a decent load of Nomads in Babylonia on a 900k mission in about 15 minutes max.

Doing it in a Discoverer or a Demios is not going to make it a cake walk for sure.  
I have to agree that the NPC level is near perfect - could do with maybe stretching it a bit on the new mod maybe?  We shall see....

[Ninja-Jinkaz]

I think the npc diffilcuty should increase so that the nomads are a little harder to kill

[Asmodeus]

I never really bothered with npcs on the 2015 mod i was more interested in mapping and trading, I only really got into it when i joined the [BBB] to get us to No 1 on the Void and No 1 on the global and that was my goal and still is,  and just checked on the global and its 42,825 since the player wipe.  :D
