Dont Get Mad

Ok I was level 2 or 3 and just started trading this is on multi. I managed to get 70k which for me was A LOT. Then doing a trade run I bought 70k worth of dimonds. I saw some enemies on my scanner but just fly by em and then everything seemed fine until abotu 30 seconds later when my life started going down and missiles where hitting me but no one was around and i cudnt use any of my sheild and nono bots i died and WAS NOT happy. Then I noticed it was the lag which did it and that guys id seen ages ago had attacked me and hit me just the lag made ti happen later. But now using the same user Ive got a Valk and 763k. Iam gona buy the Eagle but not yet. So the morral of the story is Stuff like this will probs happen to ya and i nearly gave up but if ya stick at it it will pay off

If you die you should just 'respawn' like it was an autosave... sucks because 3/4 of enemies always gun for my freighter which hasn't fired a shot, not the fighters flying around killing them. If DA resorts to crap AI tricks like that, then don't screw the players like this.

If I was the pirates I would go for the frieghter also. Once I killed it, I just pick up the cargo and flee.

That doesn't sound like bad AI to me.

Yeah, thats smart ai. If your not a freighter...well....uh...bad ai?

i lost 20k running daimonds the other day I was only 1 system away too...
8k out of that 20 was loaned from a friend He wasn't happy I died legitimately, so i can't really complain

It's not smart AI though, becasue it dosen't matter if you're in a freigter or a maxed out Sabre, 3/4 enemies always gun for you.
