When I'm out there discovering, just exploring the outer systems, I frequently have to run for my miserable life if I encounter 5 or more Wilde, or some other hostile.
I thought that meant that I just had to upgrade my equipment. But now I have class 10 VHF shields, decent weapons, and even quite a bit of armor... but have the same problem.
Is this a balancing thing that I am just not seeing the big picture on? I mean, I have to start jinking and dodging for my life immediately, and can't even think about standing and fighting.
Or am I missing something gameplay-wise? Am I going to have to have a cruiser or gunship to keep from being molested by NPC's in non-guard systems?
