NPC changes in Discovery Mod

[Laowai]

Not sure if this is the right area to ask this but was just curious


I've been playing this mod and on this server now for a few weeks - i know that the NPC ships were made much tougher... but im curious as to.. how much? I know they use shield batteries and nano's now.

So I'm in omicron Gamma - Corsairs home system, doing some missions against the bounty Hunters there... ok... HOW ANNOYINGLY TOUGH IS THE BOUNTY HUNTER FIGHTER?!!!

as a disclaimer - i'm playing with a Lag that averages around 300 - 350, so i know that isn't doing my aiming any favours... but one example hit me today... If anyone else does those missions, you'll know the BH pilots do this annoying thing where they stop mid flight, (usually right behind you) shoot at you and then rush off in another direction... as i have a high ping, im trying to hit them when they stop... so today, this ONE fighter.. he's stopped, i hit him ....i can see the impacts on his ship... he has no shields, but his hull isn't going down... i hit him with a CANNONBALL missile... which apparently does nothing, and he shoots off.... i repeat said procedure, all the while his hull is the same... THREE TIMES... he was hit with no less than THREE missiles, all of which did nothing....

this seems to happen a lot with these ships..... so i was wondering, were they toughened up a huge amount? am i just rubbish with a high ping?

i know they are tougher... but... are you kidding!:)

Im hitting him with 2 tizona's, 2 codenames and a nomad cannon.... (when i say hitting him i mean, i THINK im hitting him)

anyway... back to it:)
