hello it's ricardo and welcome back to elite dangerous update 12 is with us and call me
cynical but i think we're going to be having an update 12.1 that's been my experience anyway
so far but we're here today to talk about the new mission the settlement defense mission um
but it's the one where you're gonna start protecting stuff for a criminal element
i've got myself over to an anarchy system and these missions have indeed popped up so be
looking for them get yourself to an anarchy system let's take a look at what's going on
so here we are in the combat section of the station in a anarchy system we've got a safeguard
of chemical containers from hostiles but it's in the legal mission which tells me i am indeed
working for the criminal element of this anarchy system against the fuzz against omnipot so far so
good i've selected my mission time to get myself in a zola taxi and get myself over to the base
in question so far so good so occasion i got to my port of choice and i was dropped off a little
bit away from the base that usually happens when the landing pad has been occupied by other ships
no dramas there things well things started they started okay to be honest uh everyone was moving
around the combatants were moving they were attacking me it was all really good people
were moving about i thought this is great this is a real challenge it really is good
absolutely brilliant so here i am borrowing an omni poll it's an anarchy system i'm not re
occurring any sort of like negative impact to me at the moment whatsoever we're just giving it to
the fuzz so here we are they're moving they're dodging it's pretty good people are firing at
the ships because the ships are coming in these vipers that they're using the omnipolar using look
absolutely fantastic with the red and blue lights kicking off left and right and without too much
trouble i was picking things off no problem they had a good angle of coming down towards the crates
and that was fine well this is my first attempt here things are going great until they're not
especially in these sort of games as well um evan was coming down huddled they were going
a nice sort of typical swap movement and how they move i thought this is absolutely brilliant
then of course well you know i died i'm not too big to admit it i died i got overwhelmed
i ran out of ammo and i died so i found and found myself another mission in the same system
right no problem i'm at metcalf hub um and that's when things started to go wrong
so here i am again our eyes mine lagging it here all my people building about there on my side
that's great i'm preparing for the attack to come in so ship start dropping people off so you've got
to go and try and effectively form some sort of defense and this was my first so like alarm
bell really my companions weren't moving around or anything they weren't moving at all here come the
hostel drop ships great good for them everyone starts looking to the skies and start shooting
at the drop ship as if they can sort of wear down the shields and destroy them as on their
approach i mean you could have a good concerted effort to do that i think there's the drop ship
here it is coming down again viper you know with uh the blues and twos on it here it comes
this is my first alarm bell because it dropped off i thought right great
brilliant they've dropped off by there i'll get myself over there and i'll shoot them
but it didn't drop off and i thought okay okay well let's just bear with this
let's bear with it um so i had a bit of a look around and lo and behold i found people elsewhere
where she hadn't come in directly behind me i thought something's going on here
so again so i'm laying off some plasma busting a cap as it were and
i'm aware people aren't moving or advancing towards me or being evasive other than just
falling over when i shoot them i thought well hmm this might well then be an isolated incident
and it wasn't that much of a challenge to be fair because nobody's moving time for a quick ream
wait for the next drop ship to come i thought well perhaps things would be different
unfortunately they weren't um and this went on for another mission as well um okay at another
base we're in for people to come in and attack my cargo loader no dramas there's the cargo loader
glowing in all its glory we cast our eyes to the sky here come the drop ships
i thought they're gonna land directly on me now in this case they didn't they landed just off off
to the side so here they come no one's moving no one's running to come and start shooting at
them i did in the first mission i thought this smells a little bit like the same problem we had
there you go everyone's opening up and firing i was a little bit hopeful but no
one's actually moved from their position um right let's look over the ledge nobody there
and then lo and behold they're behind me a second drop ship dropping off
um and there's the cargo loader again is our people shooting the goliath that was hovering
around on this base and not moving at all it was effectively like shooting fish in a barrel a shame
even though they weren't moving it might just be the fact that i am
rubbish at this sort of stuff um although i think i'm probably better than the average beer it was
challenging because they do lay down heavy fire and they are well equipped soldiers but
would be much more of a challenge if they actually moved around and i hopefully this bugs gonna get
addressed and addressed soon because it is quite a good game dynamic however you know in its current
state it's poor it's really poor anyway so in brief get yourself to an anarchy system
level up with the factions these missions will pop up they're going to be purple they're going
to be a legal mission just where you know you've got the right sort of mission if you
want to be on the criminal side against omnipot and then it's all blues and twos
on the vipers for you and hopefully for you your soldiers will move mine however did not
anyway i've been ricardo thanks for watching i'll see you soon disappointed to be fair
you
