Custom Battle Pirate Complex

Today I saw someone advertising for a lobby for a Rank 1-6 Pirate Complex group. Honestly, there shouldn’t be an option for this. When I told the guy there wasn’t any chance of them completing it in those ships, he told me to ‘xxxx off prick’. Either way, there really is no point to making a lobby like that.

Doesn’t it get scaled down according to rank in a custom just like other missions? I see people advertising for low rank pirate complex all the time so I always figured it’s doable.

If it does, then disregard this. I thought it only worked that way for missions with multiple tiered levels like Blackwood and Maintenance Shop.

Custom battles select the difficulty, but maybe it allows T2 ships?  I can create one but I didn’t bother waiting for three people to bring T2 ships to pirate base.

Yeah, so I’m assuming it doesn’t scale then.

Custom battle scale difficulty the same way standard battles do.

 

Blackwood has a T1, T2 and T4 version.

Dreadnought Sabotage has a T2 and T4 version.

Processing Rig has a T2 and T3 version.

The other Dreadnought mission has T2 and T3 version.

Pirate Base only has a T5 version.

Yeah I tried it out last night in a group of all T1. Was hit by a rocket for more than double my ships total HP. Pirate Base does not scale so there should be some kind of preventative measure for this.

n00bs gotta learn somehow.
