Beware of Capital Ship in Sol

I decided to visit Sol's various POI and dropped into the Capital Ship. As I approached it, without warning a whole swarm of ships came to attack me without any warning :mad:

There's no bounty on me and I didn't deploy weapons. Rebuy cost was 3.2 mil but lost plenty of chartographics after returning from Guardian site.

No wonder no one visits Sol anymore!

Same happened to me in my shinny new Krait and favorite Crew lady.
I did see the warning to stay away and as I was turning the FGS swarm
got us. Pretty bummed as I was excited about finally getting to Sol.

Opened a support ticket asking if this was normal and the guy was really cool.
He restored everything! I wasn't salty and didn't even ask for it.

I was surprised. Give it a shot.

Just be mellow about it and ask "what you did wrong" ;)

There are Imperial capital ships in the megaship dock at Cubeo, and you can get as close as you like (just as well, as the dock is in front of a station and plenty of ships go past).

But IIRC the one orbiting Earth is Starship One, the President's personal transport.

Doesn't matter if its a permanent POI, approach a capital military ship and they will fire upon you, you are not a member of their military.

It would be nice then if they could discern our military ranks, they shouldn't shoot at an (honorary) admiral like me, right? Though I bet FD didn't implement it like that.

It is my experience that you have to be allied with the super power to be allowed close, anything less and they come after you with much enthusiasm

Unless you are hostile with capital ship owner faction - probably bug.
File a report, wait for reply. On a side - note not to fly close to capital ship.

Sol is a great system, worthy of its permit, it has the best canyons in the game (Ariel, feel free to prove me wrong), there is never any war because all factions are democracies and the mission boards are rich cos the factions are almost always in boom, particularly good boards at Galileo (orbits the moon, our moon). Plus it's home of course, and there are plenty of non threatening pois. :) If I had a complaint it would be that there are only 5 factions.

I was always under the impression it doesn't fire on you if you're sufficiently friendly with the fed's.

This happened to me, too while sight-seeing SOL and the relevant POIs a couple of weeks ago. Without any warning, every ship in vicinity turned from green to red and I was dust a couple of seconds later.
I was furious first, but then resigned. I had just lost my brand new ship and rebuy was not an issue. I have never visited SOL again since then.
This happened despite being allied with the Fed's and having had already a decent rank within the Navy. :(

Yeah it's interesting you can be an admiral and a king and still get shot by the military of either side.

As much as I love ED; I think this is just badly implemented gameplay. Shouldn't it be like:
if faction_status == '[faction]_admiral' || faction_affiliation == 'allied'
trigger(proximity_warning)​
else
trigger(fire_all_weapons)​
end
Looks easy to me as a complete programming noob ;)

It has been a while since I have visited Sol, but the Earth ship never gave me issues. The one near Mars blew me to hell though. What is dissapointing is that I am a Rear Admiral, so you'd think that I would have at least a little bit of clout.

Never overestimate the knowledge of the powers that be. Cap ships that don't engage Thargoids but will gank a harmless player aren't too effective.

A long time ago I went to visit it and got a proximity warning.
It will open fire if you get too close.

This is normal
