Was in deep space yesterday and got 3 missiles at once in my back 2-3 times from npcs. A-Wings flying in formations of 4+ (which results in hits by power getting close to pvp). Or was it just a 'coincedence'?

If you buzz round the ISD where the Bomber/Opp squadrons fly, you regularly get 3-4 missiles up your jacksy. That's why i always carry chaff. U only need 1 and then you can ride the rest of the damage, and a quick shield shunt. the only thing is, everythime i get missile lock, I always spam z, as a hit from a PC will take me out rather then dent my shields.

Yes formations alway have been there but they didnt usually fly in strong formation of 4 and shooting simultaneously (so you get 4x strogner hit). Yes they fired rockets 1-2 is ok. But yesterday I got firing of 3+ missiles at once and those firings were repeating faster than I could shunt and refire CMs. May be just a coincidence. But after an hour of flying there I got my CM launcher disabled...

I see that frequently. NPCs in formation are about the only threat I really worry about, just turn into them and shoot at one or two, usually breaks them up.

I don't think there's been an AI change.
