Strange tactic against Adder

Post by Mad Hollander »

I'm using 1.79 version and the ship is Adder. I've never seen such tactic when I was flying on Boa Cruiser

Sometimes I encounter a group of three that immediately starts attacking me
1. my status is Clean
2. the status of every ship in the group is Clean

I don't use any mission oxp, just some ambience, retexture and my own hud

Are you carrying any parcels/passengers?
I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills
And any survivors, their debts I will certainly pay. There's always a way!

I'm hardly ever carrying anything with my Adder. To me, they attacks me too often, about every third flight

No parcels (ideal for Adders, as they take no space)? Are they broadcasting any messages when they attack you?

They are, but I've never thought it is important. Something about cargo and wrong place and etc.

Something like 'You picked the wrong agent... '? Sounds like the assassins! Get a screenshot next time.

That definitely sounds like assassins. Hmm... did you used to carry parcels/passengers in your BCC while playing 1.79?

Do you have the debug console? If so, what do you get if you type "P.roleWeights"?

I don't have this console but I'll try.

I supposed they were assassins or pirates, but actually I was earning money with different contracts when I had the Boa Cruiser. Look's like something was changes when I sold the Boa Cruiser and bought Adder. On the Adder I hardly ever carry anything, because I don't know how to waste the money. One day I might delete some zeros from the saved game :-)

You say that now, but I've had to repair a naval shield unit twice in four flights recently, it's good to be able to afford that sort of thing out of petty cash!
