Buff low-lvl NPCs - Dart - 06-20-2010
seriously, all of these legionaries, daggers, and other low-level light fighters only shoot CDs and float around the enemy. they serve no purpose but to piss people off..
PLEASE Buff these NPCs so they start attacking (full force) players. this way people can start hitting them.
why does it have to be that fighting a middle level ship is easier than a low-level? when i started disco in 4.86 Edit i meant 4.85!, attacking low-levels took me many many minutes. while with the same hardware i would be able to kill higher level opponents because they didn't zig-zag trying to run away from hits.
either buff their attack, or remove their ability to use cruise disruptors please.

Fixed.
Honestly, I'd say we should also buff newbies while we're at it. Start everybody off at the same approximate level of gear as the NPCs in Ontario.

Or we could try making more NPCs flee in terror from you if your gear is good enough. You know, the ones that are just a bit higher than the level 2 ones, yet still think they can take on your Rhineland BS if they spawn eight at a time?
The same ones that can't even dent your shield regeneration rate, yet continue to ram-spin and CD-spam you until you end their pathetic lives out of annoyance?
The same ones that once you shoot them, clutter your ore drops with useless crap that they had in their cargo hold?
The same ones that are extremely hard to hit because they fly LFs and EK like crazy and have a respawn rate similar to rabbits?
Detecting a pattern yet?

Also, search is your friend.
there is /restart command, which makes you neutral to Rogues.
at least we can leave npcs in Penn like they are now, but in other systems low-level npcs should be buffed or removed.
they were balanced for vanilla freelancer, where all those bloodhounds, daggers, centurions, startrackers and piranhas were enough danger, but now they are just ridiculous.

@Soldier's Requiem
the higher level NPCs don't constantly fidget and run around, they actually engage. this makes then fightable.

And, Also, You'd see that general answer to threads similar to this - to put it short and simple - was No.

If you're at it, don't forget the KSP Drakes.
Most. Annoying. NPC. Ship. Ever.
