NPC changes in Discovery Mod

[Nanook]

Well, if you look at some of the Liberty ships in the Nomad zones, they have equipment that is too high of a level for their ships (I forgot what the fighters were, but they weren't the highest level versions).

It's better this way, though, since I remember that when I tried using my Rheinland Cruiser against Nomads in February last year, I felt safe. Very safe, except for battleship encounters.

Similarly, has anyone noticed that AI ships seem to have a lot of nanobots and shield batteries? It just seems like enemies will RARELY have less than a quarter of hull health if they're given time. However, it might be me.

(No, this isn't complaining. I'm asking if I'm just crazy.)
