NPC changes in Discovery Mod

[X-Lancer]

from my experience, their defensive manouvers haven t changed - so they still fly the same patterns. but their firerate has gone up - significantly. a group of 8 titans can even take down a playercruiser now. they gained some more power by the upgrading of the CDs, too.

other than that, they regenerate at a very fast speed - for quite some time. but not sure if that has really changed. battleships have recieved a powerincrease, especially stationary ones - but also some mobile ones. the Nomad BB patrols are a lot tougher ( nomads in general are tougher ,cause due to the higher firerate, they can really hurt now )

but what really affects you is probably their aim. it has been improved, i think ( or maybe its just the increased projectile speed sometimes ) so, yes - NPCs are tougher - but compared to the x.83 version, i think that it has less effect on the highlevel players in VHFs etc. and is more noticable in the mid level range ( heavy fighter against light / heavy fighters )

for Nomad NPC......their gunboat using BATTLESHIP NOMAD TURRETS!!! WTF!!!and those NPC's ship's hull is stronger than the one that player can use....

and please move this topic to Discovery Mod Balance or Discovery Mod General Discussion
