erm... okay, yeah, this is my first post, yes I'm new to discovery, but I'm not new to Freelancer in any form...

anyway...

the npcs here are just rather ridiculous... just flying around i see nearly every player who's not trading in a capship. does this really make sense? but yeah, it does, because I've tried taking missions and the NPCs have some godlike armor that makes them nearly immune to my 2 lvl 10 and 4 lvl 9 guns (also, missiles don't do anything, but this has always been a problem with FL). this doesn't make any sense at all, and it doesn't make npcs any more 'fun,' it's not really fun at all, it's just frustrating.

someone commented that fighting one player takes 20 minutes, so fighting a whole group of npcs should take 20 minutes (sorry, this thread's sort of long and I didn't want to go back and hit quote)... well, that logic doesn't really make sense for me at least... why? because NPCs simply aren't intelligent and never will be no matter what you do to their equipment, and the whole point of playing MP is so that you can get out of the tedium of not having any real interaction. PVP will always be more fun than fighting NPCs, and that's why most people enjoy having huge clan wars whereas they usually aren't that excited by a giant NPC fight.

anyway... so I feel that fighters are rather useless for making money in any way other than escorting, and as many others have already commented, that's why nearly everyone I see uses a capship. the balance needs to be fixed on the NPCs to fix ship balance.
