Summary0015876: Pirate Ravens are WAY too fast
DescriptionThere is like...literally no way to beat these guys before they kill everything. The speed they move at is INSANE. They zoom around and stop for a split second (maybe two if you're lucky) to fire, then zoom away again. Why is their speed HIGHER than it was before? There's literally no incentive to even try to win these fights when it's a mission to save freighters. You have zero chance to save any of them without auto-resolve.

They were ridiculously fast before, but manageable. Now they're impossible. There is no incentive what-so-ever to fight them if you don't want to spend forever in the fight.

I have same issue. They are so fast that I think it's a bug. Attaching save.

It's not a bug, but it is something that I was not really thinking of in terms of the freighter missions. Hmm.

Thanks! We'll see how this does in the next version:

* The Pirate Raven flagship is now only able to hit targets that are Unique scale or larger (aka Unique or Boss), which means that they will pretty much single out the player flagship and ignore everything else. This should prevent the issues with trying to hunt them down and find them... because they'll find you...
