Ok so i combed through the forum and did not find anything regarding this so, either that or i over looked it, either way here is my rant.
So the NPC fighters are more challenging in this mod, great i can deal with that, infact it makes combat more exciting, but here is my problem. The NPC ships break the standard rules of engagement everytime i fight them.(AKA they cheat.)
How you ask? well for starters they use their B/B way more than possible for their ship class. Take when i first started playing, was fighting against some outcast NPC's in dagger ships. Now even your own wiki states a dagger can hold 15 b/b's so why is it during the course of the dog fight with said outcast i counted atleast 25 times that he brought his shield back online to halfway, by the way when i finally got rid of his shield he kept restoring his hull like another 20 times as well.
Oh but in the middle of the fight when i scanned him he had ... no b/b's? hmm ...
Let's talk about weapons for a moment.
Engaging some lane hackers in britonia area, i had ships consistently using mines on me in combat, i think they were razor mines but dont take my word for it. Regardless i scanned his hold to see how many he has left. shock and suprise he was 1 single mine in his hold. yet dropped atleast 5 more on me during the course of the battle.
Oh and by the way his guns were maxed, he had no mine dropper equiped. Also why do i get blasted with cruise disruptor missiles when half the ships have no launcher equipped as well?
Ok please understand i am not whining about the difficulty level of the AI, I just think NPC ships should follow the same restrictions as PC ships, If i went into a battle with all my weapon slots filled with cannons but was firing off missiles from out of nowhere how fast would i be banned for hacking?
Point being fighting NPC's is annoying enough unless you have them severely outgunned, skill is skill but having to over come an unfair weapon advantage is just a cheap pot shot at trying to make a game "Challenging."
This concludes my rant, i will now be accepting flames such as GTFO noob etc..
