NPC Pirates are very very very difficult. This is intentional and they will stay this difficult. What is however a problem is the distribution of them, there are too many of the "very very very" difficult systems as opposed to the "very very", the "very" and the "plain" difficult systems. Thats why you see loads of pirates defending Jaspet (yeah, I hate that too btw!!) This is being worked on - this includes ore distribution as part of the whole "distribution" thing.
Well this is very good news. I agree that rats should be hard, but jesus ... it's been a little ridiculous. I was hoping it was merely a patching problem and they would address some of the issues ... so we shall see.
I honestly hope that at least spodumain will be available in limited quantities in the nearer 0.0 systems. Megacyte is kinda insane right now, selling at over 30,000 / unit.
Anyway, anyone else have thoughts on this?

Well so far I have read that places around Curse region such as Great Wildlands have some Arkanor, one field had a whole bunch of roids sitting right beside eachother, and I know right now that rare minerals in Stain are very rare with the exception of Bistot in select systems which we carefully farm.
What I think they have done is put the new ore respawn code in, and places that have been severely mined out dont have any of the new ore (Mercoxit, Spod or Ark) let alone Bistot (I know spod and ark arent new, but considering they havent been in for a long while, they might as well be)
Where as places that havent been strip mined (probably many systems in GW and say CT-UQU and other regions that dont have stations near by) will have an abundance of the minerals because the asteroid fields are near their default values, and the code was probably designed to put 1)fix the respawn rates and 2)put x ammount of ark, spod, mercoxit into an asteroid belt. Since the belts are at the default level, they get the ore, where as the ones that arent, they screw up the code and get very little, if anything for ore.
Just my little theory.

<Muaddid> Q: When will sentry gun and station and similar construction pods be introduced on the market?
<Hellmar> we have various player owned entities already implemented. Sentry guns, power/shield generators, field repair mini-stations, mobile refineries. We are still working out the last tidbits of how they can be over taken, what is the penalty of having a sentry gun kill a n00b etc. and we have been a bit busy with plugging the holes that people have found.I would say that you'd start to see these items on the market in about 2-3 weeks, very expensive to begin with |

Deep Deep Deep space should be Very Very Very hard... Near stations in 0.0 it should be only Very hard..
And I don't know anything really.

Let us pray. But I was having a blast killing those 1 mil pirates ever 4-7 minutes. A nice source of income.

Yup and it's just my point of view but pirates in 0.4 and above are still not strong enough, only little frigates there, not very challenging.

so i'd think in essecnce hellmar already ansewred the question being asked. That being that they are re working the setup as they are not distrubuted properly. Although NPC's needed a tune up bistot was to easy to mine before. Given atm it's impossible but i think they will balance it out shortly to make it just very hard or very very hard and not impossible.

I've seen a lot of ark, but 2-4 bs's and 20 or so cruisers is a bit daunting.

4 battleships and 20 cruisers? wtf ... to ensure that nobody dies you'd need about 50 combat pilots to take that out.

Heh, but I bet I wont get my Raven back that I lost to this unintended error of distribution of rats protecting Jaspet.
Yep, I am still crying. Took me oh since the first week of retail to get that thing. Well I got to fly it for about a month.
Spelling corrections welcome, but don't expect me to edit my post. |

one wonders tho if the npc pirate corps can manage to have this sorta military how come they havent completely wiped out all of empire space yet?
and how come they have tech2 cruisers before us? I thought that tech2 was created by empire research facilitys???
dont even bother turning your mods on-it wont help. |
