Hi,

perhaps I got the combat wrong, but I have problems hitting my targets.

I already use lasers which should be suitable for small ships but they only hit like every 20th shot or worse.
The same for Small Combat Drones which just circle the target but don't seem to attack at all or miss all the time.

At the moment I could only finish "Kill Raider Missions" because some friendly NPCs joined the fight and helped me (they obviously don't have problems hitting the target).

I don't think weapons have a "hit chance" but rather the thing you are shooting at just out maneuvers you. even the fast projectiles of lasers aren't infinitely fast.

What works for me is use boost speed when attacking. your ship moves fast around the target and gets hits while the pirate misses your ship. I use lasers and missiles. You do need to lock on target.
