Dear OP, I have to apologize,
I often lamented about the "silly" flight behavior of the npc's, esp any light fighter (DAMN XENOs).
Today I took part in the Starflier TDM event. It was Big FUN, even though I am completly unexperienced in handling the communication, trading, chat control
correctly and prob. gave Cro-Legend quite a headache). I also learned, apart from what is often said, MISSILES WORK DAMN WELL in pvp .
AND I also saw the other participants wiggle and niggle and ziggle around JUST as the npc Xeno Starfliers.
So, this quirky movements seem to be a result of the i-net connection (lag ?) and are NOT, as I previously thought, caused by your modding of the abilities of the npcs.
They are already much harder to fight in SP (where's no lag of an internetconnection) and what I like.Pperhaps only the BigDaddy mod npcs are similar, but mostly due
to a different balancing of weaps, armor and shields, less by their flying.
Please accept my apology for blaming you on this, OP
