Please note that not all NPCs have been de-fanged yet. Just got interdicted by a wing of two in 63 G. Capricorni, and noticed some strange looking shots going past me as I pulled my code 39. I highly recommend staying with the small cheap ships for another day at least.

But I applaud the change, and the fact that the communication came from Zac as head of community management and also included a clear affirmation that there are bugs with overly aggressive NPCs. Asking the community for help in tracking them down is a shrewd move, and much better in PR terms than SJAs "What are you whining about, my AI does not cheat" post. Talk about pouring oil onto troubled water vs. pouring oil into the flames.

In summary: FD PR/CM hit the button for the retro rockets before they had another offline gate.

At the moment, cursing loudly, because the supply/demand mechanics have been extended to the black markets with 2.1, and I am getting just 2k instead of the usual 5k per escape pod.

Great news, admit it was interesting to see how quick an "A" ship could go to dead but not my credits. There was a Fanged Continuous Beam Vulture in a High Res in LTT 9472 near Gonnessiat Dock but that was a hour ago. In space no one can hear me swear. The radio Chatter is great reminds me of the Airport or Coast Guard chatter I'm use to when close.

Earlier in the FD design office

Designer 1 - "So, what should we do for 2.1?"

Designer 2 - "I know, let's put in a mechanic that forces people to use every fricking piece of equipment in the game"

:P

I love my python, but why not try a clipper? You'll still have a python.
