Nostalgia4Infinity posted:Also security Vipers will finish off the ship that is fleeing from you and you get no bounty credit! They're going to have to address that, won't they? Otherwise, what's even the point of having the RESes (and especially HazRESes) to begin with, when you can get the resources pretty much everywhere with less bother?

If you go by reading the forums, this is the best thing that ever happened and it was SO ANNOYING that anyone ever killed a pirate near an asteroid because it's just not realistic.

Well Brown Sea Wisdom is: 1.) outfit a ship specifically for RES hunting  2.) git gud (no further advice given) 3.) use missiles target engines (ignores PDT and EMP also missiles don't do that much damage to engines) 4.) wait for ship launched fighters to track them down. So maybe?!

Mike the TV posted:Best FSD modification possible: If that upgrade works on mass instead of giving a flat bonus to jump range, wouldn't that mean the obnoxiously heavy Corvette and Cutter could theoretically get really good jump ranges, too? I mean the reason those two ships have so low jump range was Frontier giving them tons and tons of extra mass, after all.

So hoping they don't nerf robigo and the rest giving so much money in the beta. It will make the late game grind disappear and bring alot of people back. Make it so the missions scale with rank but keep the 10 to 40 mill payout. But the loving brown sea will scream for a nerf ugh

The new weapons and mods I would think. And rebuys because NPCs will kill the poo poo out of everyone starting out.

So back to the FDL it is, then. Maybe the fsd upgrade will let it hit the mythical 20 ly jump range.

Probably not, everything in a HAZRes now pops chaff constantly in every fight, and spams SCBs till they run out while having massively improved combat ability and no need for heat/power management.

I don't have beta, but this "pirates running away" business sounds awful. Maybe there's a reason why the enemies in literally every other game don't do that?

Pretty sure the run-away AI is already in place. I see it all the time on PP NPCs, specifically the ones hauling mcguffins for you to interdict/stop.

Nostalgia4Infinity posted:Spend a lot of time grinding to a combat Corvette? gently caress you, you chose poorly. Not that you aren't over-reacting in general, this being a beta and all, but this comment is especially egregious. I went into a res with a Corvette that wasn't even particularly well fitted and I blew up everything I looked at within 30 seconds. Maybe the NPCs tried to run away. I don't know. All I know is that they died good. Adders, Pythons, Vipers, everything. I decided to test in a Vulture as well. The AI is better and NPCs tend to weave more. I think it's a good thing. In the interest of fairness, I should let you know that I did have a few ships try and run from me. They were all Vipers and it was a little bit annoying, but putting 4 pips to engines in my Vulture let me get close enough for the finishing blow.
