My Viper is now knackered due to the power changes for Shield Banks. Currently I've turned off one of the beam lasers. I suspect I'll have to replace them with either pulse or burst lasers.

I'm thinking that interdiction may have been tweaked too, as I was interdicted twice by AI in the same system.
 
Wow that was weird! Just launched from inside one of the stations at Yembo to go pick up some more metal. And there a NPC type 9 getting totally wailed on by the stations internal weapons. The poor bugger just flew in a straight line right towards the letter box getting shredded the whole way. Got right to the exit point and then exploded. I had to fly through the debris to exit :(

The ship wasn't even wanted. What the hell...?
 
I think bounty hunting has been nerfed,

Just spent ages SCing around the anarchy gas giant rings looking for stuff to kill, I managed to get 3-4 ships to spawn but once i'd killed them, nothing else came.. I had to go some place else and it took so long I'm better off at a nav beacon..

Might try a conflict zone now, apparently they're shelling out 15/18kcr for the bigger ships, so could be quite lucrative,

Edit - looks like bounty hunting has been nerfed, bummer... was starting to really enjoy it as well,

At least we get more than the stock 3K per kill from conflict zones now. Felt really rubbish taking down an Anaconda or Python and only getting 3K credits for the effort.
 
Also reading lots of horror stories on the frontier forums, about the changes to impacts,

Basically - if you so much as touch the station or another player on your way in/out of the slot, or inside - it's insta-death......

Like this guy, with an orca and a hold full of gold ;_;

 
So they have changed trading, mining was worthless, exploration is worthless. Now killing NPCs is nerfed. (all what I have been reading) Whats the point in playing anymore.
 
Honestly cant be bothered with this anymore. Love the idea of piloting my own starship but this does its best to suck all the fun out of that experience . . its far too pedantic and fussy.
 
Wow - sounds like they really dropped the ball on this one!

Kinetic energy= (m * v^2)/2

So a clipper at 50m/s has 25 times the energy as one going at 10m/s. At 100m/s the energy is 100 times as much as 10m/s.

I guess the answer is SLOWLY. Be interesting to see the damage if you hit the wall at 5m/s ratrher than 100ms/
 
The new patch is great as far as I can see so far, the gfx look better, it seems smoother, the sounds is better, I've not collided with anything as yet though :p
 
I slammed in to the inside of a station tonight completely misjudging my exit and didn't explode (in an Adder), so it can't be affecting everyone.
 
Yup, just collided with Jaques Station on my close flyby and it only took out my outer ring of shields on my Cobra, was under boost at the time too so no issue for me, new patch seems goooood :)
 
I am a idiot, sold the python and now bought a type 9 (again) its ****. It has no jump range whatsoever even upgraded. I fail to see how anyone can make anymoney running this dog of a space ship.
 
Did the same thing - sold my python for a type9 and used it for a week doing luxury runs about 2 weeks ago.

Still have it. Almost quite like it. Got a A rated FSD and its not too bad. Not ASP territory by a long way, but not too bad.

Problem is that the ONLY way of making any real money is grinding a trade route. At the moment I'm clearing 1.2million on a 1 jump round trip.

If I ever want one of the bigger ships equipped to a reasonable degree you have to do it.
 
Think thats where i messed up (again) cant find a station for a new drive... There needs to be more details on stations from the map on the level of equipment sold.

User tools are appalling in this game atm. I used the trade tool on the commodities screen and it advised X exports to Y, so i bought X and the profit was....... 5c per ton

this game is causing me to put on weight via rage quits and walks to the shops to buy hob nobs. 3rd time now.
