hobbesmaster posted:Well, at least a dev has responded to the instakilled python video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZN_yZ07-18 Can someone explain the video to me? Because at 00:36 in that video, the NPC is heading towards the player and and in INFO it says "Thermal attack: Gaining heat". The heat just goes down until the ship suddenly explodes at 00:48. But the NPC hasn't even been facing the player for 12 seconds? Is it firing something from a turret?

A bugged weapon would be my guess. edit: actually no you're right, re-watched and the NPC doesn't seem to be facing him at all. Unless I'm misinterpreting the HUD, the top side of the Vulture was though, so a gimbled weapon might be able to reach that far. tooterfish fucked around with this message at 09:39 on May 30, 2016 |

tooterfish posted:The NPC flies past him and gets on his tail. The Vulture is one of the most most agile ships in the game and the Python is a fatty bum bum, so this part's okay in my book. There are other videos of NPCs spewing out PAC rounds like it's comming from a multicannon as well as a beam laser with a shotgun spread. You can see the vulture fire a PAC right before he gets behind the python so my guess is the multipac bug.

All missed because of the crazy wide hardpoint locations but if those were on any regular ship I'd have been dead, no two ways about it. I'm... hmm, regretting not keeping a Python lying around with a Bi-Weave. Because gently caress combat in general at the moment. I think I just want to run from everything if it's going to be this widely unpredictable. tunah posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZN_yZ07-18 Sure, it's a normal fight with an NPC that slips past the Python. Which then explodes in seconds for some unexplained reason. And Frontier goes:  LOL "git gud" etc etc. Personally I want to call bullshit. Even with zero armor and no shields I'd expect a longer kill time than that. DancingShade fucked around with this message at 10:35 on May 30, 2016 |

Removing Bi-Weave shields is dumb as gently caress and I really hope it's just an oversight and not something deliberate

Hmm "threat zero wreck what could possibly go wrong?" *gets jumped by a wing of 3 pirates immediately on entering instance* Insert name here posted:Removing Bi-Weave shields is dumb as gently caress and I really hope it's just an oversight and not something deliberate Agreed but it sure sounds deliberate. And dumb. This whole engineers update reeks of "great ideas but it really needed some loving testing and balance passes". Or maybe they could have listened to the feedback of the people who did test it instead of ignoring everything. I don't know. My next USS was five winged hostiles that attacked instantly at "level 2". My advice? Get into your fast ships so you can bug out ASAP. No loving around anymore, I'm back in the military hulled FDL since gently caress this poo poo. DancingShade fucked around with this message at 11:57 on May 30, 2016 |

So what positive changes did the update bring? AI seems a bit overtuned and buggy, engineers is just another insane grind on top of the grind, missions aren't that much different and buggy. Doesn't leave a whole lot to cheer for.

The new small ship thrusters are insane and great and awesome and epic. And small ships are cheap and easy to fit. If you want to fly large ships you're still pretty much hosed, because gently caress that grind (where's my offline mode so I can cheat  ), but why would you want to fly a space truck when you can fly a space F-14??

So Elite's now a bullet hell game  What the hell is going on? Are the Engineer mods given to the NPC's set to have randomly rolled stats and somehow they land on improbable numbers?

Those two uberweapons were definitely not in beta. This means two things. 1. Weird bug that coupled with a bump in NPC AI made the game into a sadistic rogue-lite. 2. These are high tier weapons from one of the engineers that Frontier DID NOT let us test (we only got access to some of them). I don't know which of the two categories would make the outcome more hilarious.
