Got 7 NS Armor layers off of one and portions of heavy leather off the second one I TKM'd                                                                 

I stumbled across a 3-rangers-x-3 spawn of these about 1400 meters northwest of the Science Outpost yesterday while on a mission against a surefoot-brackaset lair.   They spawned right next to the lair. Probably the best fight to date for me, a new Master Bounty Hunter.

These were a tough fight for me, since they're 100% immune to my two best weapons' damage types (electricity from my lightning cannon and acid from my scatter pistol), but a decent alternative is my laser carbine (energy, medium armor piercing) with the Scatter Shot special attack. I'm still experimenting with it, but it looks like it does a range from 450 to 2500 damage per special attack. I tossed in some Confusion Shots and Fire Knockdowns, and managed to occasionally force them to flop around like fishies on a pier.

I also dabble in Creature Handling (4-2-0-3), and had a Graul Mauler in the battle. The first threesome mauled the mauler badly, but by the time he ran away, we'd killed one and the second one was nearly dead. So that evened the odds, and I was able to kill those remaining two fairly easily.

The second and third spawns got really dicey, but between them occasionally turning to attack the brackasets from my mission, me pumping enough stimpacks into my graul to barely keep him on his feet, and me sprinting up and down a nearby cliff to open up some range, I managed to solo-kill all 9 of the Nighties! (WOOT!) And for my efforts, I even scored my first TWO Force crystals! (WOOT-WOOT!!) (/thankMaker for thakitillo and maxxed-out entertainer/food buffs for Mind!)

Easy kills. Can find a good spawn spot for them between the NS stronghold and the NS?SMC battlefield.                                                                

Something must have changed with the last publish. Until today, I had zero negative rating with either Force Witch faction. Today that changed when one of these gals came tearing after me while my merek was on guard.
Over the past few days I have been consistently chased by either faction. Anyone know if this is intentional?             

Very nice loot I must say. Things are getting better. Any word on any schemactics for the heavy leather or heavy clasps?                                                                

Just been fighting this lot, now have -5k faction points so they attack on sight :) if you dont have minus points they dont attack, we went into the caves for alook about to start with and they did not attack.

they used force attacks, throw, choke and lighting (have screenies) killed about 20 of these inc the sentrys out side the cave (they used force attacks as well) all we got was cash, anyone k now if they drop holo's ?

I got 2 Nightsister Lances of the lovely ladies..
Both were 6.2 speed, no Armor Piercing, 9% wound, +7 at all 3 ranges, 26/58/28 for specials.
One had +8 to warcry and +8 to defense vs dizzy (i think), and the other had a Poison dot (184 Strength, duration 98s, 14% Potency and 2635 uses).
I killed about 8 of them and got 2 NS lances, and 2 vibrolances.
