"The Good, The Bad and the Decent" not possible

[CFG9000]

Game balance is pretty off, things were fine up to running into these "Outlaw Madcap Pods" which have 100% accuracy and just annihilate me instantly. What good are movement options if the AI has perfect accuracy at all ranges?

[VirtueXOI]

I dont understand tbh , i'm not really an ace , and i can assure you that the game is really not difficult (at least for me) . It's quite the oposite tbh.

What ship are you running ? what weapon you'r using ?
Is the level diff hight ?

Madcap explode and throw mines at you , do you take theses ? they can be deadly.

If you have hard time with the pod , one homing missile and it's 90% of the time down.

I really did not had this feeling , even tho 1st madcap surprised me =D.

To me one "off" balance thing is the armor drone , it have so much range atm ..

And ofc long range ship / weapon are really to easy to play atm. sniping is cool (but miss a zoom :( ) but can be to powerfull. I'm sure this will be balanced by enemy snipers / okkar / teleporting ships , like in the 1st opus.

Completed just fine with the sniper weapon. It is possible.

very possible and easier to deal with than a viper..hell an armor drone mixed into a group is a larger problem.

I killed the pods. I took me a few tries. I would swoop in, fire away my homing rockets, then use the jump away ability to let my shields recharge.

HOWEVER: I think I found a BUG:

When returning to the Trader . . . uh, I don't get any credits . . . I had 2K going in, and he promised 3K, but when I get to the base, he just says "What do you need?"

NOPE: I just wasn't paying attention to where I had to go.

Not sure about this. I find the game almost too easy at this point. Between your ship abilities and all that stuff dies super easy. Make sure you swap weapons as needed.

I hope they don’t balance it any easier because then there’ll be no challenge at all.

i beat this mission is less then 6 mins at level 4 its possible

The Good, The Bad and the Decent mission?

The enemy are hard in this mission. I kill one then the rest (3 or 4 of them) swarm me and kill me in seconds. Is there a knack to this? Should I take some side missions to get better parts and what side missions are available at this time (there don't seem to be many)? or, am I just rubbish at this game?

[Hatecaster]

You likely should get better parts. I'm not sure what you're running, but better armor and shields helps loads with making sure you don't take too much damage too fast. Tactics help too: Don't be afraid to use EMP to stun enemies or the speedboost to run away real fast so your shields can recharge. Just make sure there is somewhere safe you can actually retreat to. I had the same problem. I backed off of the mission, farmed a bit and got better gear, than tried it again and passed it no problem.

Did this mission last night.

Railgun/Beam Cannon/Misisles for the win.

Used a Damage Booster on the Viper - 3 shotted his ass......was quite fun.

Mad Cap Pods are annoying but die fast with beam cannon easily...

Try different weapons. EMP/Boost Mods

Some things are better off taken out at long range.

[jmotivator]

Can somebody explain to me how I am supposed to deliver the package? I made it to the Ceto system, defeated the enemies in the sector, approached the Elites I'm supposed to deliver too but have no option to communicate to complete the mission.

[jmotivator]

Never mind, the delivery location was hard to find because it was behind the elites, making it look like the ships were the destination.
