Hello CMDR's

i need your help to verify my hypotheses.

The last day's, since Engineers comes out, i've been attacked by multiple Deadly and Elite Ships, mostly badly damaged my ship and some Ripps me appart.

So i change something the last hours, and the only ship that takes me out of FSD was an Viper MK4 kompetent ranking, not realy a challenger.

So what have i changed?

I'm a collector and it seem's there is a factor to make you a target for NPC's.
So i have dropped all my collected crafting goddies and the materials including the collected Data
and since this moment i flying arround with the maximum of amount carrying cargo my ship can handle and nothing happens.
also my ship turns faster ( maybe subjective - but it feels so )

Please tryit and post your Experiences here :

Thnx for helping CMDR's

I think dropping only the cargo (ie. not the data and mats) works.
It works in that it stops pirate interdictions in most places. Not fully tested it.

Other gameplay like missions etc have other rules.

I'm thinking/hoping its the cargo which makes every NPC and its mother want to kill you. I can't go to a res site currently as I'm attacked by everyone. Once I have got rid of all my cargo I shall try again and see how and if anything changes.

In testing from 1.6 to 2.0 I noticed no change when having stored materials to not having them.

As above cargo, powerplay and missions make a huge difference. Otherwise no unless they've changed something in 2.1

If this indeed influences AI attacks then FD should change it.
How would these ships know you have engineers commodities on board even before scanning your cargo?

I've been storing recently some modular terminals x3(for an upgrade). And discovered entering a res site or nav beacon ever since has been a major no no.
Just about every ship attacks you and even a corvette with maximum shielding has to run......very quickly !

I have 600 materials and I never get interdivcted... I mean maybe once or twice every few days... way less than before 2.1! So no : materials are not the cause!

I was out in the Maia system just exploring and I got interdicted twice, told that they wanted my cargo, shot at and threatened with destruction. I wasn't carrying any cargo.

As an aside, I found I've never traveled far enough from my starting point to get an invite from Elvira Martuuk. So I did the 22 jumps to get to Maia. Saw my 1st black hole and found out just how many bodies were out there. I just wish I had brought a DSS. I don't have many credits and dropped my beloved Cobra III for a Cobra IV for the extra cargo space and better shields. I added 2 shield boosters which saved me from the NPCs.

If you are in a RES or at a nav beacon with no cargo in your hold then you will not be attacked regardless of the amount of mats and data you have. The exceptions are various USSs, and if you are pledged to a power play faction then npc PP agents may attack you on sight (usually they just want cargo too). Personally I think you just wasted all those mats and data for no reason.
