I keep getting attacked by "clean" ships

Hi all, I've just jumped to Galaxy 5 and keep getting attacked by "Clean" Asp Mk IIs. My status is clean and has been for a good while now. Some of these Asps seem to appear from nowhere and then disappear again just as suddenly. There are often two or three of them and they seem to lurk near the Witchpoint beacon. Although they show as "clean", killing them doesn't affect my clean status. I'm "Dangerous" and run an Iron-Ass Python (fully loaded inc NEU) so they are easy enough to deal with, but they are an un-welcome distraction. Does anybody know what's going on here?

Make sure you destroy the one that appears and disappears and once you've done that, make sure to clean up the area of all the debris. Sorry, I can't say anything more than that ;-)

Good advice.

Welcome Smivs, to the friendliest board this side of Riedquat!™

I'm at the same stage as you. I'm also getting attacked by clean Asps.

I'm thinking this might be the beginning of a mission? Possibly the cloaking mission?

Anyone?

Weird though. I thought that the cloaking mission only happens in Galaxy 5, and as I'm still in Galaxy 3, I didn't expect it yet.

If clean ships are using your ship for target practice, then you might want to have a look at your own legal rating. If it's anything but clean, then you probably attracted the aim of bounty hunters.
Just sayin'.
