I've been doing hauling/courrier ever since I came back to he bubble and by Q do I hate NOC pirates. I mean they are not hard to evade, they are not strong to fight, most of the times they won't even engage.
So the way it generally goes for me when I am doing hauling and courrier missions is I am at the sweet 6 second mark already going at 75% and some dummy bot will go "Hurr Durr you have stuffs me want" well do the dang boring ass interdiction dance which I mean I am in a Type 9 it shouldn't be this dang easy to evade, never the less after about 30 seconds of chancing the dang dot I evade so I start to slooooooooowly turn around to aim at the station and as soon as I am starting to decelerate another, and many times the same dummy bot will go "hurr Durr you can't escape, me fast, me kill you" and again after another excruciating 30 seconds I evade like COME ON!!! it's not even exciting is just annoying. I know I will evade them I know I am in absolutely no danger and still I have to go through the whole dang thing.
And then if I get pissed enough and submit they will go "hurr Durr you have nothing me no want your stuff" and fucking escape before I can unload my furious anger upon them. I mean what's the fucking point???? I say they either make them far more agressive and harder to avoid or make it so that once you avoid one that's it for the system or during some kind of cool down timer anyway I feel better now, how are you all doing Cmmdrs?
