I may leave Discovery...

[Juan_Arquero]

I've reached my limit.

My problem isn't with missions, since I rarely do any.

My problem is that killing mid-level NPCs with a mid-level ship (the X-Shuttle) is ridiculously hard. Just traveling within house systems takes forever now.

Don't tell me that I need to fly with another player. That's not practical for me. I'm a taxi driver in real life, so I often have to leave the game within minutes. I don't know if I'll be playing for hours or minutes, nor do I know how often I'll be interrupted (since I frequently have to answer my company's phones).

Don't tell me that the X-Shuttle flies like a brick. I know its strengths and weaknesses. If the energy for weapons fire was nerfed in the 4.84 version of the X-Shuttle, that was a major mistake. I don't know if it was. I do know that I could kill mid-level NPCs with an X-Shuttle in 4.83, but that is now nearly impossible in 4.84. The NPCs now are ridiculously hard to kill.

I could post the details of what happened to me recently, but it's not that different from the problems I mentioned in my first post.

I'll return once a month to play my characters, so they won't get wiped. I've enjoyed playing here, because I like interacting with other players. I may go back to playing 4.83, since two of the 4.83 servers where I have characters are still running 4.83, but they might have wiped my characters. Unfortunately, those servers have almost no players on them and I hate playing on a server by myself. I guess I'll probably switch to another mod. I think I'll be back once the 4.85 betas get started if the AI returns to 4.83 levels.
