Please, for the love of god fix it. I got killed by a swarm of a dozen rags today, and there's really nothing i can do to survive in a situation like that.

And this was in PROTECTED SPACE!


Please...for the love of god...just fix it...

Better idea, fix the low level swarms. And re-introduce the ones in peril space like we used to have ages ago.

where you can find 8-12 BGs with a random sprinkling of ice pickles to contend with. I LOVED those days. It actually meant something to travel in space and it was dangerous. The only thing I need worry about today is that a pirate will come along and interrupt my autopilot.

BG's are not dangerous. They are too much tank, not enough dps.

Forgones, Picks, Vultures, and Wattages...maybe throw in a GB or 6. Thats fun.

well I was simply giving an example from way back when. Ofc you'd have to mix it with the critters we have nowadays.

Admittedly, the hordes of ships in low-DF gals are quite fun to look at. Kinda sucks I guess if your on a new alt and they're aggressive as opposed to the passive say hue/zebu swarms.

Maybe nerf certain swarms like the Dark Guards, Rags, and such? Even then, small groups of them are always good exp.

+1~!

Yeah, sure, fine my me. The number of AI in perilous space is pathetic these days, anyway.

Then again, i would prefer it if perilous was seperated into different AI nodes, but that would be a lot more complicated.

Make protected systems protected, any AI that is above level 10 is never a vermin. And to swarming elsewhere, just set limits to AI per team, would fix so much.

I'm intrigued... Develop on this?

It's been said time and time again. Cyg and I came up with the most thought out suggestions on it.

Basically, each AI is a faction. Forgones, Greens, Reavers, Picks, Vultures, and Bana. And each has a "home" area where they spawn with the highest numbers. Special versions only spawn here; normal ones dont have to.

DG's in their space only contain their enemies(pocket resistance), missions are done for killing these enemies, etc.

"Neutral" (Perilous) space surround ai nodes.

For example, Forgones. Forgones have *owned* galaxies, normal pillboxes, the big pillboxes like Greens and Picks, maybe a few warp drones and such in their territory. Forgone Fighters(LF), Forgones(1, 2, 3), and Mega Forgones(CS) spawn in the space, but Forgones(1) can spawn in "normal" Perilous space. The DG's contain Picks and Greens, of various kinds, likewise is with forgones in Green owned DG's

This really should go in, quite a nice idea, would also make some things better.

Yeah, he pretty much summed it up with that. It would make it less likely for you to run into combinations of enemies that are impossible to fight, while maintaining the dynamics you've got currently.

neat idea indeed, I like it.
Perhaps the immediate 3 nodesw off neutral would be forgie, pick, BG.
Could have some very nasty areas like Hive, Delquad and Wattage off them

naw, those fellas + drops and wattages just spread everywhere. With increasing numbers of agro ai like drops and MF picks and forgones in deeper DFs.
