Couple new things I saw in SC (new to me since I last played)

Picked up a couple missions while on a rares run so was too chicken to check them out as I had already been attacked a few times but can anyone shed any light:
1. Saw a "distress signal" - paranoia made me think it would be a trap to attack the good Samaritan but what do you find if you approach one?

2. I've seen the "seeking luxuries" in the past but in 1 system I flew threw I saw "seeking weapons". Made sense as unrest was brewing in that and neighboring systems but are they after battle weapons or non lethal jobbies etc? Kicking myself for not writing down where it was

3. Took a courier mission to transport data 130ly away and pretty much after the first jump I had a tail who kept messaging me to say "follow me I have something that might interest you". Didn't attack me (I think when I did get interdicted it was by pirates not him). Followed me to my final system only with 2-3 variants of follow me but didn't attack me. What was that all about?

I like that the Galaxy has evolved in the 4 months I've been away!

2 and 3 are actually quite old (much, much older than four months). The "Seeking Weapons" just were much rarer for a while. And the NPC in the last point tries to give you an alternative offer for the mission you are doing.

Distress signals are not exactly a trap, but will generally provide you with waves of bad guys (who are currently attacking some weaker ship) to destroy, with each wave getting stronger / more dangerous.

I went into one yesterday, and started with three pirates of varying combat levels, followed by a wing of seven (competent level), then a wing of six (expert to dangerous), and finally a wing of three (Anaconda and two Vultures, dangerous), at which point I left.

They are sometimes empty, save for a system authority checking out the wreckage...

1 I have visited distress signals few times. You can find NPC ships without fuel, NPC trade attacked by pirates... Usually there is also rescue one (NPC) ship which will try to refuel ship without fuel or the other npc in someway.

Best thing i have found from distress signal was one rescue one viper flying around ship wreck and it messaged me something like "Seems like this was caused by pilot itself. Nothing can be done its too late".

2 seeking something have couple Type-9 that will buy your cargo if it is what they want. Seeking weapons used to buy battle weapons but i haven´t done those in long time so not sure if they still buy those. You can cargo scan those type-9 to see what cargo they have. They will buy same stuff they have in their cargo hold.

3 They offer you alternative mission. If you follow them they will give you message. Can be seen in chat window same place that promotion animation/message can be seen. You can accept it and then it will overwrite your current mission or trash it and keep your old mission. Note that you will lose rep with faction that gave your that mission if you accept alternative mission and you may get the fine for not doing the mission.
