no issues with kidnapper fox, really confused here

[PhoenixAscended]

My group has had no issues with the fox, its all skill, on all the maps whether its near our ship right away, next to it, or at the facility entrance, we've had no issues.

Hit tongue to stop it from attacking, teleport to save someone, sneak past it, or just make a dash for it

We've encountered it on experimentation, titan, offense, we've not had any issues, a few of us have died but it doesnt seem that unbalanced, I'm really confused why people keep saying its overpowered, hell even when it spawns right next to the ship all you have to do is make a dash for it. the weedkiller is painfully cheap as well

If it's near the ship, and you get out, great!

How do you get back with tons of loot on you? How do you make zero mistakes constantly, when there are many external variables?
How do you buy equipment when it camps near the drop pod?
How do you deal with bad turret spawns if it decides to spawn at the ship?

The thing is inconsistent as hell and people are sick of dealing with it, it heavily disrupts the game's flow unlike anything else.

I could see getting loot out of the drop pod being a problem, we don't typically order anything but the cruiser and instead just buy planets

We consistently make it to and from multiple trips to the ship with loot and face no casualties, but we are pretty experienced in terms of being the most efficient with speed and taking safe routes/parkour.

I feel like the fox is a very very skill based creature but I will say, it needs to be less of a chance to spawn, consistently facing the fox on expensive planets or even in free planets every single run can get a little annoying and takes away from the fox as a whole in my opinion, though the actual balancing of the fox at least for my crew hasn't been a big issue.
