Reading all kind of discussions, pleas, demands, threads about Engineers it feels like people still don't try to understand it, maybe even just because they are going trough emotions, trying to force it to become what it's not. It happens all the time, but it is very visible with Engineers.

So my opinion seeing how it all works is this - Engineers is side activity (not main one, it is clearly not an mandatory upgrade path) which rewards having varied play style or "life" in ED universe.

It is system designed as anti-thesis of "consuming content". It is not really a content per se, it is mechanism which together with assets adds new gameplay, and thus content. It trades clear min/max paths with variations of outcomes. You get bonus...but you don't know what kind of bonus you get, and grinding for it is quite taunting task. Probability gates are there to avoid players get specific upgrade (as I said, not a mandatory upgrade path), but get upgrade nevertheless.

Why I like it? It doesn't force me into mandatory upgrade mill, yet it can give me boost in interesting ways. I also love collecting materials (I love looting, FD has done it right) and it gives some context and ideas how and why to do it.

Why some people might not like it? Well, min/maxers will definitely not like it, as it is clear anti-thesis of calculated paths towards upgrades, they most likely will struggle to understand concept of this. Pure PvP fans will most likely avoid Engineer mods in combative dogfights as they want equal standing. "Griefers" will loath it and love it in same time, but with buffed NPCs I think they will have more issues on their hands. People locking themselves in specific roles will try to understand why they should bother.

I think main point is - you don't. None of ED systems added are mandatory (same as roles - they arent, so why Engineer mods should be). However, if you hit it right with one of them, you are in treat.

>AI is back to its old self

I don't believe this. I was mining in an Anaconda and making my way back to a station, and I continuously got interdicted by a FAS. My large and medium pulse lasers barely even scratched its fucking shields. It was able to knock out my shields in 3 seconds and took me down to 75% hull in the blink of an eye before I barely was able to bug out. Then I had to spend 10 minutes constantly submitting and jumping to SC to make it back to the station.

Fuck this game.

>>144316451

Everything is broken.
I was having bounties and shit disappear.
One time everything disappeared and I had a 5 million credit bounty put on me for no reason.
After getting interdicted around 45 times I eventually died. My bounties and fines went back to normal, then I visited a station and I ended up with a 3 million credit dormant bounty.

I can never visit Quince again.
Mostly because I uninstalled this shitheap game. It isnt going to get better, posting in this thread is the only fun thing left to do.

People will interdict you at CGs but that's about it.
I got interdicted by some fag in a Vulture at the last CG. I dont even know what he wanted. I asked him and he responded with "HEY WHATS UP". So I shot him.

So now all of Sothis missions are like this, is it worth getting a type 9 and just loading up on these? Asp seems so shit now the cargo requirement is so high. Or would it be better getting a Python? I only have 150ish million at the moment.
>>
>>144333995
Wait, is that the same type of missions that robigo had? The ones that fail upon scanning?
>>
>>144334220
Nah these are just some delivery missions that pay as much as smuggling but with much higher cargo requirements it seems. Only ones I'm getting though.
>>
>>144334383
Shit, my man, grabbing my Python and heading out.
>>
>>144334220
Should mention that some missions spawn AI that interdict you, but it's nowhere near as bad as it was with smuggling. Only had 1 NPC try to interdict me out of 30ish missions.

Do you mind sharing your Python loadout?

How hard is it to make completely randomized ship loadouts for NPC's? And have like the higher ranking the more chances of having A graded modules. Every time I engage any ship it feels like they all are A graded PLUS it feels like they use fixed hardpoints and they barely ever miss with lasers, mini-guns. NPC are OP as fuck, they should be difficult buy having competent piloting skills not OP modules and rediculous maneuverability.

I know that HIP 93377 has a station near a ring with both hi and haz res. The same system where the turreting took place
>>
>>144340247
You'd be right. I was also curious about this, and by examining the relative speed differences between my A ranked vulture and vairous NPCs, DPS on shields, ect, I've learned that every single NPC spawned has at the very least A ranked thrusters, shields, power distributors, and power plants. Some NPCs have exhibited even higher statistics than are normally possible for players.

I've also discovered that harmless-competent tends to have C ranked weapons, competent-master tend to have B ranked weapons, and master-elite tend to have A ranked weapons. Some elite NPCs have exhibited MUCH higher dps on their weapons than what should be possible.

Note that this is merely a tendancy. You CAN get a harmless NPC with a hypothetical 'S' ranked weapon (meaning doing more than should be possible), with a bad RNG roll.

NPCs also will almost ALWAYS use fixed weapons with a pseudo-aimbot. They will essentially never miss you unless you can turn out of their firing arc faster than their ship can correct it.

They also ignore heat accumulated from your weapon damage and any SCBs they use.

In short: NPCs cheat like bastards, more than is readily apparent.
>>
>>144340661
Fuck knows dude, I've been grinding whatever cargo delivery missions I can fit into my Asp at Sothis. They pay the same as smuggling, but it seems like you have to have a much bigger cargo hold for a lot of them, see >>144333995

But, like I said, it might just be me in regards to Fehu, maybe RNG just fucked me over with mission generation.

It isn't already? This mantra is held up on the forums more dearly than anything. Why would you provide character slots when retards are willing to buy your game twice, or even three times just to have a fresh save without having to wipe their characters?

I watched live stream frontier hosted for Horizons launch on xbone. I thought they'd give mere detail on future updates.
The dev hosting it was cringe as fuck. The shit he said, you literally can't make it up.

There are other stuff he said too, this is just what I really remembered.
I've been on to other generals and seen a lot of inside memes and 99% of them were forced. But this dad meme is as real as it gets.

integrity drops hard as fuck though, if you ever drop shields you can be planted instantly

>>144373708

I'm okay with this. I have close to 3K shields on my FDL but the extra power draw from my mods so far is limiting my options.

Not even worried about SCB disruption. Nobody's even rocking feedback cascade since everybody preemptively went biweave/hulltanky.

The price differences between First Encounters and ED ships is fucking amazing. In FE the difference between starting ship and final ship is 64 times. In ED it's 6,500 (without upgrades).

Ridiculous.

>>144386276
I'm sure early playtesting exposed the huge hole where content should have been.

Hence the grind. It's a pretty tried and tested development method.
>>
>>144357743
Something you could try would be downloading enough so the file structure is intact-ish, then copying over the game files into it. Then you resume download. Might work. Then if that works, try verifying cache.

How the hell do you rank up Federation and Empire now? I want to get max rank because surely they'll release ships for those ranks at one point but now way I'm ranking up the way it was meant to. I like to play other games as well.

I was about 1.5k ly out when I found my first one, just follow a weird as fuck route, i.e. go 500 ly below or above the bubble then set off in a random direction and you'll find something.

Most people head to Sagittarius A so avoid going directly for the center and you'll be fine. It's a big galaxy out there CMDR.
