Strange asteroids, turning into aggressive ships?

[Alex_F]

Good afternoon fellow commanders,
I just crossed something unusual - a large fields of asteroids, and in the middle there was a bright white asteroid (but it wasn't tagged as "asteroid", it sounded much more valuable. Can't remember the name, unfortunately). When I shot it with the mining laser, hoping to get much gold and platinum, the other asteroids turned into ships which attacked me. So, witchdrive on and get away quickly. Has anyone an idea what that was? Any strange mission I don't know yet?

Have you got Anarchies OXP? Were you in a anarchy system? If so, Hackers Outpost...?

[Alex_F]

I recently installed some OXP, I'll check when I got home...

They are Treasuroids from "CargoWreck.oxz".

is probably what you're looking for

exactly, treasuroids! Not very kind, you expect some high-value-debris, and get a whole bunch of attacking pirates out of nothing. As said in the linked thread - hitting a pinata full of wasps...

thanks for the quick help!!
