I have a bitter smile on my face, couse i had such talking in my corp, about NPC AI change long before Retri was deployed. Well, first though i have come to - Gallente will be in big trouble on L4s. And they are. Other faction solo missioning will be somewhat more difficult and it is. Its just obvious - ppl tend to have habits after many years missioning and no NPC changes.
My profits will be cut down but it will be more enjoyable. CCP thinks this way:
1. We will encourage ppl to team play in PVE and mission ops will become more popular.
2. We need to cut down easy money from L4s
3. Solo pilots will start new account and pay us more
4. Some ppl will whine about it, some will enjoy changes. Ppl will adapt, eventually.
And yes, again, Gallente L4s missioners are screwed up. Almighty, pls, have mercy on them. |

so your solution is to fly minmatar ships, just like everyone does in PvP.
Whilst we're at it why don't we just remove amarr, gallente and caldari from the game, since no one will use them for anything anymore. :P
I said "or equivalent". Blasters and pulses will work fine.
Personally... i DO L4s sometimes and i havent used single drone since long time. I just kill all ships with "short" range guns.
As i said, Gallente are screwed a bit. Everybody else can find new solutions to NPC AI issue. Altough missions become more risky. |

People, don't cry. At least NPCs don't shot down cruise missiles and torps launched at them. And don't try to catch bullets from autocannons.
Yet.

If NPCs would start to dodge missiles and bullets. THAT would be challenging.
I kill all frigs first and only problem would be situation when acc gate take me in a center of dozens of elite frigs which insta scram my BS.
I repeat - i havent use any drone on L4 since long time (Pirate Invasion, Scarlets, Angel Extra, Gone Berserk, Mordus Folly etc). Propably i will take some salvaging drones next time.
But i can imagine that if i would be drone boat pilot, extended micromanagment with drones would insta kill my nerves. |

:-) Good point. Luckily it doesn't stop Caldaris in any way.
Imagine alite frigs speed tanking missiles locked at them! And NPC BS warping out for reps. That would be AI boost...

Or maybe CCP wanted to enhance difficulty for L4s in general but came up with just screwing Gallente only?
As Minmatar i really dont care, every frig just dies quickly to my rusty guns. And i can just skip these assigments when i land in center of a Serpentis' party which are unplayable for any faction.
But dude... have some empathy. Chars based on drone skills have really hard time with these changes.
