Brigand HF NPCs

[Syrus]

It isn't really a bug, but ...
Just like the Legionnaires the Brigand Cuirassiers move around like crazy. They have thruster speeds of up to 350 ms. They had no problem staying on me, while I was already cruising away, until they broke off.
At least they aren't as jumpy as Legionnaires, but with their thick armor and quite good equip it's very annoying if you have to rep a ship.

Would be nice if their thruster speed would be reduced to standard.

There is no such thing as "thruster speed". Thrusters add a bonus to the engine power, basically augmenting it. These guys had a loadout issue which was fixed, are they still jittery?

Wide awake in a world that sleeps, enduring thoughts, enduring scenes. The knowledge of what is yet to come.
From a time when all seems lost, from a dead man to a world, without restraint, unafraid and free.

Mostly retired Discovery member. May still visit from time to time.

Well, I did missions against them yesterday. They mostly flew "normal" (unlike the Legionnaires which jumped around very much), but VERY fast when using their thrusters.
I was crusing away from the mission with 350 ms and they flew right behind me without losing distance and kept firing.

Can't say they were especially jumpy - if you keep in mind the extreme speed.

EDIT: Maybe they have 2 thrusters? I think I also got 2 Pilots (UC and Brigand) from Brigand NPCs. They also had mixed weapons (UC and Brigand).

The update was released this morning... It should be fixed now.

I'll check later. Bad timing to report the bug, yes, but I couldn't have known that the update was to be released today, hehe...


EDIT: Seems like the issue was fixed with the newest update. Very good.
EDIT0: Ye, didn't see any of that action anymore. Guess it's fixed. Can be closed then.
