    Perhaps you are encountering bugged mobs and next time record what mob specifically and what planet for the devs. My friends and I have explored quite a bit and from the prisons, tombs, castles (mounted and regular glitch knights), mini bosses, flying mobs etc etc. Niether humanoid NPC guards or mob has ever one shot any of us. In fact the only way to get one shot I have found is from terrain .. propellers, stakes in the ground, or fall damage from really high up. You getting one shot by living moving mobs of any type is not normal. (I havent PvP'd a lot so I am not including that in this statement and this is assuming you are in full Impervium armor).

    As for healing I recommend burgers as they are easy to farm for the required mats to make them or even better find a chef spawner and wall him in. If you cant find the recipe you can make a human character to make them for you. Im sure every race has something they start with that does something similar (Burger will heal you for roughly half health and 80%+ of your hunger while in Impervium).

    I recorded with fraps and I cant open the files with virtual dub to make the file smaller. I could also upload the uncomprressed file, but that takes years...
    Damn codec shit :/
    Ill upload a video somehow to show/proof^^

    anyways, forgot to equip the boots, so Im not getting 1-hit (so far), but still it gives me like 75% dmg on some melees^^ It was at a glitchvillage I think

    yes...you can be in full impervium and get 1 hit( usually 2 hit) by a folding chair wielding prisoner on a T10 planet. I never let them near me again after the 1st death. use a good gun while running backwards. works great.

    If you read the current news thing that Tiy posted, it says in it that that Sector X has always on PvP, and is also supposed to be generally harder so that even the best armor/weapons won't make it to easy.

    I actually think level 10 planets are too easy, but maybe that's just me :/

    But PvP has nothing to do with the unbalanced PvE.
    The crafting gears are always ahead of their respective threat level before T10 in the current patch.

    Actually, their may be some unbalance, but as sector X will still always be that your weapons and armor aren't as useful, or at least that is what I could get from the news.

    Well so if it stays that hard people wont actually grind these planets that much I guess. Especially permadeath-players who have to avoid being killed lol

    Btw, if I make a 2nd char and use permadeath there, will I be able to trade items between the 2 chars (mainchar and permadeath-char)?

    Well, yes, there ARE some mobs capable of three/two shotting a full Impervium player, although I have no idea how

    I'm not sure I understand, I have the highest tier armor and visit level 10 planets with out any problems. It takes around 5 hits for them to bring me down and I 1-2 hit them with the highest tier weapons..

    The last 3 Floran Prisons I encountered in T10 planets contained enemies that hit significantly harder than normal monsters. Most monsters will hit for 30-60 per hit (against full impervium armor), but the sniper rifle guards COULD hit for up to 150 damage per shot. I think most sniper rifle guards hit for 120-150, while some only hit for 15-25. If any guards switched to the Floranprods, then they hit for 130-300 per hit, depending again on the mob.

    It seems that some NPCs in each "dungeon" are overpowered for the respective tier. If those overpowered NPCs drop their weapon, CHA-CHING! I've got a floranprod that does 4600 damage per swing, although it only has 0.76 swing speed.

    This also explains why some players find 100+ dps weapons in the Alpha or Beta sectors, because they came from the "overpowered" NPCs...

    Or the issue could be that the highest tier stuff is intended for multiplayer and balanced accordingly.

    I've been 2-hit by an NPC gun at full health and killed repeatedly while attempting to clear a level 10 site, eventually I gave up.

    Since it's very difficult, you have to pull out all the tricks. Get out your trusty matter manipulator and make sure you're on the high ground, or lay traps lined with wooden spikes or rotary saw blades.

    You can go just about anywhere safely by either digging tunnels or building covered bridges. Yes of course it's time consuming but it IS safe.

    Permadeath players made their bed, now they can sleep in it. Real-life is permadeath and there are places on Earth I simply won't go to because of it.

    For myself, I pretty much only go to threat 10 planets. The trick is learning from what kills you. You can't just assume that any single weapon and approach is going to be suitable for all encounters. If folding-chair guy is killing you in one or two hits, then use a ranged weapon or use a melee weapon with a longer reach. The Glitch in their castle have some pretty nasty ranged crossbows, but I discovered that if you fight them ranged while walking backwards most of the bolts will fall at your feet. And yes, ranged weapons deal pretty crappy damage in this game but I just treat that as the cost of not getting killed in 2 hits. I found a high dps sniper rifle that I typically use on USCM prisons, Glitch castles, Floran prisons, etc. On Floran prisons in particular I love just standing on the other side of a lava pool and using the sniper rifle kickback to throw them into the lava every time they try to hop out lol.
