Improved NPCs, in a bomber with EMPs.

[Thargoid]

No longer can you just sit there and ignore NPCs in Starfliers.

Now they an hurt you, so...

Are some pirate still using full EMP? I was before the beta but now I've had to fit a few Energy Cannons to deal with them.

I've tried using my SNAC/Novas but can never hit them... they are too fast

Not anymore I bought one today to test it, looks much better than the old model though.

Where does one find the Waran now? Obviously wiki is outdated and Trafalgar Base (My first call) doesn't stock it anymore.

NPCs need a nerf. But the fact that EMP/SNAC bombers is no more ultimate weapon in most situations works for me.

Thunder Bay Depot, Ontaria, Junker Base in G3.

Alternatively download and install FL Companion, it's a trade route utility but it also lists all ships/equipment for sale and where to find them.

You just need to point it to the new mod's folder and it will read all of the INI files for you.

For pirates, using a full Energy cannon loadout shouldn't be a problem, they still shred through transports, even gunboat sheilds when used in conjunction with Screamer mines, and even then, the new Incapacitator torpedo is pretty darn effective...

Waran sells in Magellan, Freeport 4, or Thunder Bay Depot in Ontario

In some cases I like how the NPCs are more deadly now. But in other cases its harder to do actual RP with them flying about and bugging yea.

I was in my spacial today and they were actually taking down my sheild and doing damage on my hull xD.

I remember reading somewhere that "they no longer attack in droves".

Clearly not the case, can't camp a lane without hoards of them showing up, kill them, then 30 seconds later another load of them show.

Then when a player transport does eventually show up, you either miss it because you haven't disrupted the lane as you were dealing with stupid NPCs, or you can't RP with them because you're shields are being destroyed.

Now it's - "Stop now or I'll blow you up"

"send me 2 million or die"

"Quickly I'm being attacked here"

(silence from trader)

"come on!"

(trader says "how do I send you it")

"Oh screw this, I'm at 50% hull now, pew pew pew, bye bye trader".
