I'm actually having trouble with the Patrol Vessels (PVs). They killed me about a hundred times and blew up my starter HV in seconds after spawning it. How do you defend against them? My sniper rifle and HV minigun turret didn't damage them at all, and they pretty much 2-shot me. Is there a way to remove them or make them less frequent in my area?
Dig in and avoid, pretty sure that's what I did. I never really had an issue with them. Sure, I had to be mindful of their presence and sometimes I couldn't get back to my base right away as a PV was a bit too close. However, building underground, and having a safe place to park an HV/SV was key.
