I today flew once again through Tau63 (The Dragon Guard system). And i today asked me, why does the Dragon Guard NPC's fly the Chimaera, while the "Player Dragons" can't? I think either the Guard should fly the Blood Dragon, or make the Chimaera available for Dragon Players.
In a brilliant tactical movement, i charged backwards.
Not only do they fly the Chimera, but they are next to indestructible (like most guard ships, it seems). :angry:That's another thing I think needs changing. Sure, guard pilots should be tough, but it's impossible to set foot in a hostile guard system if you're in a fighter (if you try to fight them). They'll blow you up just about instantly if you're not dodging like mad.
I can kill guard ships and pilots, but what is the point? They sell for relatively little, compared to the effort. I'd rather take on a battleship patrol than a bunch of guard NPCs. It'd be easier and pay more. If the guard pilot infocards are going to say that they would sell for a large amount, well, 24k, relative to the time and effort, is not a large amount.
