NPC Balance

[Grumblesaur]

Well, I have mixed views from flying all over Sirius:

NPC Capital ships can be downed with a few bombers. As Freelancers, my friend and I took up our bombers and decided to shoot some NPCs. Unioners, specifically. After killing a few, we spotted an NPC RM cruiser patrol. A few SN shots to kill the cruiser, -1- SN for the Gunboats. I myself am not a bad PvNPC player, I almost soloed a Nomad Battleship patrol in a Taiidan. I've killed many ships, I've even SN'd a Nomad fighter once. It's a matter of skill, practice, and a bit of insanity. I don't like some NPCs, though. The Rogue Bloodhounds that can do barrel rolls, the Legionnaires that are impossible to hit, you gotta work on it, is all.

Of course, this is coming from a player that killed a Corsair Large Space Station in a CSV with two Vengeances. I quit the mission because of the fighters.

Erm.. NPCs suck... I SN all the nomad fighters, solo the nomad BS patrol... and in a GB, I can take anything that throws at me... the caps are pathetic, shooting one gun at a time, its the guard fighters that hurt

I got everything but the Battleship when a new one spawned in a bomber.
But you're a crazy mofo in an eagle, so you win.

I've taken down Battleship patrols in Rheinland solo with a Sabre. I can't do it in a bomber, but I can manage it in a VHF. I've also taken down a few gunboats with a Loki. As long as you can dodge, you can live.

Also, Scorps in Sigma-13 spawned by a mission are HELL. Took two of us several hours to kill two.

I'll agree about the Scorpions, I did a raid into the Wilde gate system and got mobbed by two Scorpions. I launched a SN at one, and it didn't even change the health bar. After that I gave up and ran, but there is the hilarious factor that it's easier to kill player Wilde GBs than NPC ones:)

Note to self: Avoid Wilde systems.

I belive... In 4.82, I was on the Kansas server, Fun oorp land, I had a rhienland cruiser, I was at crete, and i looked at the mission board thing. ONE SAID 990,000 OMG!!!! I took it, And i got completely ruined. There was at least 10 BHG Dessies. I really got decimated... I escaped though when the rest of the random corsairs that stay in front of crete helped... Barely made it. Even then we each only got 50k out of it. Thats sad.
