What could cause this behavior?
Does the colony have a low bounty and the "People's Police" ship keep attacking it?

There are several such quirks in trunk at the moment - some of them crack me up!

My favourite so far was when a thargoid attacked a bulk hauler. This hauler, and all the other haulers in the convoy, were inching away from the thargoid like they do, and there was a pack of bounty hunters - and me - trying to splat the bugs. We were a bit late for the one hauler, which blew up in a shower of escape capsules, and then we managed to kill the thargoid. Just as everyone was breathing a sigh of relief, literally five seconds later, one of the other hauler captains piped up with "Bored now!", proving that bulk hauler captains have an excellent sense of humour in a crisis.

Not to mention that you really have to watch playing games like poker with bulk transport crews - after all, they've got plenty of time to practice their gambling skills

"NPC's are *stoopid*"

Or at least, the cops sure are.. maybe they're descended from USA cops, who certainly seem to be living up to the 'stoopid' moniker lately..
