you all are weak...like these npc's !  kidding :P

cmon , what npc's are you killing for 30 minutes ?

the npc's now are lame...killing order and robots is not a challenge anymore , robots used to be tough , very tough ... they are not now!

I think the balance of the weaker ship to the tougher is nice , but there should be smarter and tougher npc's...

I mean .... you jump through a gate and theres all red npc's.....all you need to do is fly backward and point your crosshairs at them and they leave you alone!!! make a couple wild shots not even hitting them or drop cm's or mines and there off your tail faster.....NOT RIGHT!!!!! or better yet , just hit cruise and go immediatly into turret view , GUESS WHAT??? the npc's leave you alone!!! lmao :P  , its to funny....and not right!

i could write a book of stupid npc tricks <anyways>  ,

anyways i vote for tougher npc's , some npc's that when you enage them your going to get torn up , loose wings , weapons or your life.....and not to mod them by not letting them drop bats,bots,weaps but to just make them smarter , aim better and act/fly different...right now , they let you shoot them in the rear , like there in turret view to much!!  maybe they need to turn faster too...

make a kick butt npc :D


and i agree w/Burn killng any npc is fun! =D>  , they all have a challenge!!
they all have a challenge!!

Edit:half my post is missing!!! :-w

the global server has not updated us since dec the 11 so dont put to much stock in it asmodeus. you guys are probly higher than that now.  :D

burn the comment about lev of npc was not dirrected at you, sorry if you took offence.  you are right if you dont worry about rep you can realy rack up some kills on the void, the hard part is finding spawning points for npc you are red with. i dont run missions on my main char any more i am maxed out on money  i sell the loot and put in bank and transfer to my other fighter char. i do run mission with my irionman tho. so you have to find good spawn points for just a hand full of the criminal clans at times this can be a challenge if the npc are not turned up like they are now.

oh and i did not have 60k kills on old mod just a little less. most of them came on mission because they did not repawn as fast as they do now, so you are correct about that. no problem on the mod thing i understand what you are saying :)

i think the point we are trying to make tho is you can kill any npc with very little trouble with right guns and you can make alot of money doing it.

Well NPCs are alright.

They used to be tough,but i tend to use a lot of my thrusters so its alright.

I think Strail did point out earlier that if u dont select an NPC ship then they wont gangbang u.they would just fky about in disarray and then just shoot at them in random till they all go down.

The hardest NPCs are against BH Nomadhighbreds,have to regen 2 times atleast.

But overall its quite good.

However if its possible to have different types of missions other than the ones we usually have like trade missions or convoy missions then it will be cool. :D  :D

Yes, I think npcs in "old" mod were too easy. I get worried only if I find some Robots cuz of their screamers, but they left many shield batteries to restore your ship.
I hope we'll find harder npcs in next mod. It will be nice to request assistance to do some kind of extreme-hard missions.

I suspect there may be some differences in the new mod just to up the anti regarding the challenge to those of us with fully kitted out ships.  I remember turning up here and expecting it to be like the SP version - How wrong could I have been!!!

When you fly the basic fighter against even the likes of the Liberty Rogues, whilst your pilot skills may help you out its a lot more difficult than you'd imagine - I am hoping that most of you that have been here a while would still come out on top...! But those little "£$(£$* ! regen at an alarmingly fast rate and your guns soon run "dry"  - talk about having to improve your accuracy!

I can deal easily with a pack of nomads in my Anubis NPC Killing machine. As has previously been voiced you have to have the right set up otherwise your "cake walk" can catch you out!
I ventured into Tohoku with the wrong rep - Pirates, Outcasts, Dragons and Nomads...! Talk about a Red Mist......!  Despite taking out several my sheilds were down to nothing and my ordinance all gone - no where to dock and fast running out of options - on my run to the gate they just kept coming!  Didnt make it to the Sparta gate and "Kabllooooooweeeee!" I'm gone.

If you pick your missions right and make sure your rep is ok and the ship you are flying in kitted out correctly then yes, the NPC's make light work and easy money - however, get any of those combinations wrong and it does become a little harder!

Looking forward to the challenges presented by the new mod  - all the best - Zeb
