How come an NPC can hit me with a topedo from over 75km away?

No one has an answer to this question? I know with the new update there is no possible way an NPC could hit me with a torpedo from 75km.

NPC's have their own pre-defined stats, when they fire a torpedo they're not actually using a launcher, or ammo for that matter, it's just a missile that spawns from their ship. If the NPC is coded as having 75km range, then that's how far the torp will go.

Thanks. Do you have any insight as to why it is done this way?

It compensates for NPC stupididy. A more robust AI would require a faster computer to not lag. So in most MMOs, NPCs cheat.

I think because it's easier to calculate it that way for the server... |
