Any info would be appreciated to help us all cope with the increased danger of what used to be a walk in the park...
How many NPC's?
What are their tactics like? If they are using MWDs and stuff, dod they speed towards you as you try to keep them at range like before?
How much damage are they doing these days? What is their rate of fire like? How quickly does it go through your shields?
Any suggestions for tactics against them? Modules?
We can do it! I moaned after the last patch that the damage was too great, but I soon loearnt to adapt...Sounds like it could be different this time!

Well... I am definately cancelling one of my accounts. Not because of the patch, but because I can't farm with both running. The aggro, combat and NPC spawn are so fast... my second account will just sit and colect dust. AWESOME patch, but hella tough pirates...
and no, YOU CAN'T HAVE MY STUFF

pharp!!
hmm...I guess this is the end of solo npc fighting in 0.0...
I guess miners will be completely put off going to 0.0, therefore the price of megacyte will rocket, ships become much more expensive and less of them on the market...

I can't speak to the BS NPCs or thoraxs, however I have taken 12.5K pirates in my punisher just like before. Biggest spaun I had to take so far was a 2x15k + 5x7k, and it was quite easy in a punisher.

Please don't take this the wrong way, but where are you hunting bro... 1.0 space?
I was pummeled last night, luckily the NPC's don't seem to be using warp scramble.

I was poking around in a 0.2 and was coming up against 6-7 (1x15k and 5/6x10k's)
Was never in danger but spawn rate was fast.
Serp protector in a Tristan was hitting for 50-60 with a rail gun.

You want to try a belt in 0.0 space then

I took a look into a 0.4 and ran into a typical spawn of Sansha's. Learned a few things:
1) Rats seem to have a 70+ km lock range
2) Rat missiles seem to never run out of fuel/self destruct, even at 50+ km range
Sure, everyone supports saving Einstein's brain, but when you put it in the body of a Great White Shark, suddenly you've "gone too far". |

Not at all, it was in 0.0 empire space. I don't have the isk to risk a cruiser or my BS yet so I'll stick to 20-30ks until I know for sure. I'm not in a megacorp, so losing those ships is a big loss, hence the punisher.
Incidnetally, has anyone going to these BS NPC spauns tried short range turret weapons? I keep hearing that the NPCs warp in on top of you guys. Just a thought.

No I really don't. Sounds a bit too brutal for me still. Even if I went in a BS.

I warp in
I lock targets
I kill the npc rats
same as I used too, just more rats, and the bounty is better per kill
...now to figure out the method to get my standing with the agents up (a few too many convoys gone splat...)
...fear the evil monkey in your hanger...

Hardest I've found this far:
1x 1M bounty battleship
2x 750k battleship
4x 85k cruiser
6x 65k cruiser
That's 3.2M in bounty from one spawn

Was in p3en its a -0.2 system. In raven set up for serious dmg and a monster tank. As soon as i warp in my system locks up. when my computer unfroze my sheilds were gone and there was 20xnuli's on me. I was able to kill four before i died 30 sec later. I got the screen shot but ccp said we are fixing the problem with the pirate spawns but we wont be replacing ships. Hince close accounts x3 see ya ccp! i hear SWG has a stable patching system!

I love it when people leave because they lose a ship. 
Due to a bug, yes, maybe. Does it matter? No.
If you play EVE, you should enjoy it.
If you enjoy it, you don't leave for stuff like that.

CCP is the best at at least three things:
1. Really, really fun gameplay
2. Good forum presence
3. Inventing new and exciting ways to bring about in-game catacly |

Wow the npc's have gotten a little better now eh  . i went out in a kestrel to see if i could bag a big guy but when i warped into the 0.0 sector and went to a belt. i was a little bit suprised to see over 20 npc pirates and even more suprised to see a stream of over 100+ heavy missles homeing in on me once they had me locked.at the time i was over 130k away from them so it took awile for the missles to reach me but when they did it was one swt light show. i have never seen so many missles in my life i was laughing so hard when this happend that i forgot to run and was smoked within 10 secs of the first missles hitting me. it's just to bad that none of my screenshots worked  . but overall the new patch is swt good job ccp

Well i can tell of spavn we killed.
3*1mil raven
5*1mil scorp and/or moa
10*12.5k kestrells
9*20 and 30 k
Well we killed that spavn in a groub of 10 bs fullfittet for fightin, we did go 70 km out of the belts because of blast from torps and crusermissile they did rain ower us.
Ok with that, but stayin 70km outside belt, rechargin cap, shield and ammo when same size of spavn blob up 2 km away from us and killed a 7k shield Scorp with 4 hardness on before ewen loadin on dcreen is just plain stuppid.
6 Of us managed to warp away but others got killed in 6-20 sek, ewen before seein the threat my 7k shield was gone.
I have been lookin at spavns today and found alot of 3 bs in a spavn holdin 25+ npc, so CCP tell me now, If 10 bs cant hold a spavn of those npc rats of yours guardin Hemorphite then WHAT THE HELL do you have for surprice in arkonorbelts Deathstar like in starwars that will blast all of us in 10 sek or ?

warped into a belt out in the "querious" (formerly JK-FIX) region last night. First time in, there were a total of about 10 pirates, about 6 15k pirates and 4 40k pirates. About 30 seconds later, 4 more 40k pirates showed up. I of course excercised prudent judgement, said "oh $%*$" and warped away. I later got curious again and warped back, this time there were approximately 4 new 65k pirates to go along with the others. One of the 65k pirates targeted me, and within 30 seconds while I was trying to warp away the shields on my megathron were brought down to about 30%, despite my large shield booster running on autorepeat. I think I will bring some friends with me to hunt in 0.0 space for a while.
