I'm currently running 'Enemies Abound, 3 of 5' level 4.

I locking, shooting and popping the enemy (with missiles and drones) and not one enemy ship has locked me or fought back, in any of the rooms.

Assume this is a bug and isn't an intentional change to recompense for my losing hundreds of drones since Retribution came out.

Anyone else seeing this with other missions?

You sure they aren't just missing your drones?

I'm not complaining - though it's a bit on the boring side.

They are not shooting, locking, missing or anything. Just flying around, completely ignoring my presence.

Small drones and you took out the frigates first, I might guess?

the AI has reached a level of intelligence at which it has a deep understanding of the absurdity of violence

i just locked an open door.. strange, yet symbolically compelling.

Maybe they've decided that violence solves nothing...or finally running out of ammo.

"Tomahawks?"

"----in' A, right?"

"Trouble is, those things cost like a million and a half each."

"----, you pay me half that and I'll hump in some c4 and blow the ---- out of it my own damn self."

Sentry Guns are working, but no other AI is bothered to shoot back. Maybe they are all resigned to the fact that it's 21/12/2012 tmrw, so it matters not anyway.

I can confirm this, me and a friend just ran enemies abound the last part and npcs became idiotic and didn't shoot back, it was like tags raining from the sky.

Read the new short feedback thread regarding the AI tweak that was put out about a week ago.
Note the highly detailed test feedback given by a couple people.
Note the complete, and I do mean complete, LACK of acknowledgement of any issues by the dev's RE: the AI tweaks.

Then note the dev comments AFTER the new tweak was delivered onto TQ.
Note that they have now gone on vacation, and no is tending the store for a while.

This is not speculation, nor a rant. Look at the chronology yourselves.

Then ask again, are you are surprised that the AI is broken?

CCP can SAY whatever they like about mission income, but their ACTIONS truly state what they feel about high sec income.

I haven't seen this myself, but a corp-mate experienced the same thing yesterday on a mission. Ran through the whole thing like a nin-JA!

I have seen this. After pulling my drones back inside my dominix after a few mission rats shot at them they stopped shooting me as well. They still had me locked, but every single mission rat quit shooting me. I had no drones out.

Hi. Confirming this - just done a few missions where nobody shot back. Now doing an L3 with a Caracal, sitting in space slowly picking off battlecruisers...a little on the dull side!

Because this is you, im assuming you are saying that CCP want no one to earn any money in high-sec (very unlikely), but I fail to see how enemies not shooting back proves your point. All it does is make it easier and more boring.

Now, more than ever, we need a dislike button.

Well, it is a bit of a nerf if you have to slowboat 90KM because you can't get any of the npcs to aggro. Love those missions where the last guy drops the item, and he won't leave his safe spot to come play.

With the increase in shiptoasting, the Report timer needs to be shortened.
