100% convinced this continues to be a bug, because of the bug with bounty vouchers that got introduced at the same time, in a classic case of conflation between bounties (rewards from killing pirates) and bounties (penalties from crime. We went from: bounty vouchers only able to be claimed...

OMG, look at that cheeky bedtable! Love the checkered floor. I have also used the colour options much more. I also love the random jerrycans in the field. The only thing that can purify mind and soul is fire. Shotgun, good! Babies, very good. Colour experiments in the barracks - I endorse...

I suspected something like you said, SRVs driven by NPCs constantly getting stuck. Would have loved to see them coded so they only stay not too close from buildings and so on, like patrolling the ringroad if that makes sense. While on foot inside of buildings, you'd be able to hide from them and...

Now you got me curious, what does that say? That I am not interested in PvP? I think that's not a secret. But good on you that you found that out. Next you'll tell me again that I am a less worthy player than you. I assume most of the CMDRs you kill don't PvP either. And that's probably not that...

That's unusual, then, and probably a rare bug - I've never seen anyone other than Power-aligned ships in the initial appearance of a "Power ..." signal source, and only later if the battle has been going a very long time and the system authority ships have shown up to see what's happening. In...

Yeah, having ships need a transfer time but modules just use a loadout system that's assumed to be available everywhere would solve a hell of a lot of grind while still imposing a logistical barrier to the ol' "just fly there in a taxi ship then hop into your FDL" worries (even if that barrier...

...all hostiles in range the Target Only option is much better as all shots go for the ship you have selected and you are less likely to friendly fire someone. Missiles are generally ineffective until the targets shields are down. As I understand it system state which can change every Thursday...

...- you can still be shot and killed in any PG (including Mobius) by a human player - even if it's not on purpose, it can still happen (friendly fire is enabled in the game). It only takes a stray shot or a badly timed boost and you explode. So if I want to be 100% sure during a PP session...

Short range is another great option, get same damage bonus (slightly higher than actually) of OC as well as increased heat, but no increase to distributor draw. The most efficient CZ ship i have is a Chieftain w/ 3 cytos and 3 MCs, absolutely wrecks shields on anything then the MC's make quick...

So... some speculations. (if i understand right) Xenobiological Prison Pod is now called the Thargoid Bio Storage Capsule. This rebadge is interesting, because the tone is very different. Either: Prison Pod inferred the purpose too much, so it was revised to pull back spoilers; or Prison...

...in the crossfire, and anyway I can't think of a non-exploitable way to avoid it. People fighting arranged duels or subject to technical friendly fire in an AXCZ just won't tick the "give PK point" box (while people taking advantage of AX pilots having crimes off for convenience still can get...

Of note, transporting criminals in passenger missions, they don't like to be scanned, so its no surprises criminals don't take kindly to bring scanned. In a world where you can get killed for the smallest of bounties, yes, makes total sense. You were undertaking a precursor action to...

Lowkey fire ngl

Yes, agree. At one point when we were trying out new builds my buddy and I had a little dogfight, and I'd say that roughly each Shard hit on a Krait takes away about 1% hull. Not a big deal if it happens accidentally in the heat of battle.

...they shoot caustics around me.... never had this problem for the past few months and wonder did something change? The threshold for friendly fire was adjusted years ago for Non-targeted units, it was a strong QoL improvement suggest it be looked at again for CZ's when the proximity of AI is...

...seeing the refrain "Make sure you turn Report Crimes Off." I figured this was just to avoid bounties, and possibly notoriety, from friendly fire accidents. But then I decided to try an instance in Open at the site I was already docked at (one of the ports in Eta Eridani). Before switching...

...that by super cruising, so you get a bigger bill to fix it after docking or your ship becomes more likely to pick up damage when hit. Which was the default state when you started, I believe some of the organised AX groups insist on it being turned off to avoid friendly fire upsetting something.

A fully turreted Challenger? Man, you're killing that ship. That 47.8 DPS you presently have isn't going to do a great deal once you start facing stiffer competition. Put regular gimballed guns on it and your DPS will literally double. At least. The Challenger is so maneuverable that it's easy...

...game to do it, chaff hinders the turrets but eventually you'll kill the little buggers. The only problem I could see would be getting a friendly fire incident accidentally, but not sure turrets would do that since I haven't used them since before engineering. I've never seen a situation where...

...if you kill them despite them starting the fight. If there's a full wing of them you're in even more trouble.) Either way, there are so many PvE reasons to have crimes off (avoiding friendly fire in AXCZs, for example) that it's hardly a good indicator for "wants other players to shoot at them".

I've never had a problem in Open, I gave an example of one I had in Mobius. I don't worry about griefers (mostly if I met them they are on my friend list so I know where they are). Just because you or I don't have an issue doesn't mean they don't happen & different people have different...

There is apparently a bug where NPCs fire a shot while trying to scan you, that would I expect turn them red on the radar screen. Previously when something similar happened I would try to ignore it and leave if it got persistent, I seem to remember if you were clean and they hit you a couple of...

...so avoiding notoriety & paying off fines & bounties (in my case commonly generated by base scans & occasionally by accidental friendly fire) limits my choices. If I have any notoriety it's usually because I made a mistake. One of my systems is currently being attacked (in Legacy in this...

Well, we don't appear to be being detected, at least the Interceptors and Scouts aren't reacting to us even remotely as much as when we're hot. I assume if they did detect us, they'd attack. They're not attacking, so I assume they haven't. Now, sure, if there are other players or AI pilots...

I meant as a hypothetical fix against this exploit.

...When the going gets tough, the tough call for close air support. Put some dumbfire rockets on your ship, and don't be afraid to use them to provide your own CAS. Just be careful when you're teamed up with a friend, Maxim 5 goes "Close air support and friendly fire should be easier to tell apart".

Hot Gossip: The latest chat from our friendly neighbourhood dev :) There was a company-wide town hall recently. It was focused on the next 5 years. They discussed the coolness of their tech and IPs, excitement for release, and their intent to release more games/projects down the line. They...

Not sure about shards, but plasma charger its rather "difficult" weapon to understood, as not everything is obvious at first glance. Now there is the catch... the AX part of dmg, its actually hidden from stats (in-game)... I tested it myself with one of my friend a good while ago, the absolute...

...me from picking up resupplies in the system, sometimes even in nearby cluster systems to get back to the war. Why the hell is this even a thing? Even in regular real world wars friendly fire is a common thing - can we possibly set the thresholds for a "friendly kill" higher to avoid this?

Thats not in question- the issue is that they don't affect your run like a capable NPC does (say Spec Ops) or another player who can strike at any time after you take off. The NPCs work to the same rules for everyone. Sec, NFZs, dropzones, PP NPC pirates, adjusters- the timings are the same...

...now Suger Glass ain't doing it, laminated Class don't excist in the future it seems. As others have said, picking up an 100c unpayable fine, is actually a 20mil + fine as you will have to leave the AX CZ, which then resets, kill the friendly fire flag or activate the ports contacts, an easy fix.

AX CZs always have system ships which take offense (via fines and bounties) to being shot. When we do large group fights, other players are always reminded to disable crimes because otherwise friendly fire causes infractions.

Wilkes Base (planetary base on C4) in Imeut is in serious need of evac. Just been there. Interdicted on approach. Base on fire. Stressed out controller. Landed and picked up 60 pods. Had incoming Thargoids on launch. Boosted away and dropped a heatsink due to an incoming caustic missile. Think...

Congratulations, you have proven that the Thargoids are not strict pacifists. I don't think this was your intended point, though. For the record, I don't think talking would help, because we'd ignore what they say. We've known for years what they want. But talking is often cited as Tesreau's...

I feel like there's a storytelling question that keeps getting asked here but that nobody is quite addressing. Which is: outside of mechanics, in the worldbuilding how do these things feel and what mental/emotional impact does getting shot at with them likely produce in a character within this...

In most cases the slight tickling of weapons from friendly fire is nothing to be bothered about. You should turn report crimes off until you see that someone is deliberately targeting you to test their weapons

...for locations when continuous music is turned off Optimised game assets to decrease RAM usage and game download size So.... no more 'friendly fire'.... I hope. I've just started a new map and having the usual fun just exploring. It's quite relaxing... despite that pack of wolves tearing...

...the defense force and security too. Observing them without firing any shots, it seems that the system security and the system force have developed into a brawl involving their respective affiliations due to friendly fire. So the player who is an ally of both sides becomes an enemy of both sides.

I'm pretty sure I've taken friendly fire from a station before. It's difficult, but it can happen.
