Odyssey Settlements kill you after you do them a favor.

Why? Why would they reward me for bringing their settlement back online and putting out fires, and saving them from a huge headache by

 

[zimms]

The suspense is killing me.

And ...... ?

Guess the settlement tracked OP down in the forums and finished the job.

Disable defenses before you leave.

Did you shoot your SRV or ship weapons?

(I feel like this thread will recur a lot)

Actually, I think it is enough to drive into town in an SRV. As it is an automatic weapons out infraction, since SRV can't stow them.

Is this one of those "choose your own adventure" things, only in this case we have to not only choose, but also WRITE the durn thing?

And I thought I couldn't hate those more.

I don't think so, you can drive around the big spaceports without being fined

I've used my SRV in both live and inactive settlements and it was fine. I've never fired my weapons though, on account of the NFV warning.

If you try to bind Elite dangerous and normal common sense logic….. you goin to fail miserably at this point….. so much of “SIMULATION “ as many tend to claim on this forum.

Yeah… could be though…. Murder simulation in space

Interesting, for me it reacted like this multiple times

To be fair the game does set you up for this - the 'obvious' way to kill those on-foot is through massive air or ground superiority. And the warning about getting a fine is tiny, and happens during a fire-fight.

Not sure how they can get around this, except maybe an explanation on the death screen?

You only actually get a fine if you hit the settlement defenses.

I've bombed scavs out of many settlements before turning them back on without getting a fine. Turns the settlement hostile, but it doesn't matter they don't shoot until you take off.

they could switch off the No Fire Zone when the settlement is deactivated

They killed OP ! Oh Brebus, they are going to kill us, we know too much !

I feel unpowered settlements should not have omniscient abilities of knowing you are in a no-fire zone, or that you fired weapons. Neither should their landing pads, refuelling and commodity functions work until you know.. you actually power them up.

You don't say^^

"hey, we pay you to restart the settlement. Also, do us a solid and kill the scavs there"
shoot scavs
WTH is wrong with you ? Turret start firing, soldier drops from dropships.

Yeah, maybe the no fire zone is a bit too much.
Also loitering, on a deactivated settlement ?
