Has anyone experienced retribution from Support Ships for destroying Skimmers in Trespass Zones?

I haven't been attacked so far just wondering what are the chances.

Been around for ages. Chances are 100% if you do a scout around and find ships parked on the surface near the facility from the same faction. Sometimes they're even parked in the facility.

I had a Clipper come after me once after I killed a few skimmers, just while scavenging. I think hanging
around the no trespass zone for too long is what triggers them. Now I leave as soon as possible. Hasn't
happened since.

You get them from time to time, in which case dismiss your ship when you get in the SRV. After the scan, the ships will either blow up your SRV or not. If they do, it saves you time. If they don't, move away a fair distance before recalling your ship because they normally attack it. You can of course log to lose it/them, but that's sort of cheating.

One time, I had the support ships turn up and attack while I was in the elevator. By the time I had the ship controls, they'd already taken out my thrusters, so I could only watch what happened after that. My ship was a DBX with maximum engineered shields. According to my logfile, they one-shotted them. The whole thing was like an assisnation job by the devs on me. I must have said something bad about them on the forum.

Dodging rails from circling space ships while making a run to get away from the station to call your ship is fun! Don't go in a straight line, try to keep them maneuvering. And hope your ship is up to getting shot at while you dock - pythons hurt immobile ships.

I have around 200 Skimmer/Stinger kills without any retaliation yet but I stay prepared and the Skimmers & Stingers are all "Wanted" that I shoot. It only pays 1k CRs per bounty not enough to deal with to much.

That might be a slightly different thing coz it was my 1st thought but the other posts seem to be on about maybe mission specific 'Kill Skimmer' ones which are based around a settlement with Support Ships (dunno, probably faction aligned or maybe part of the mission generation, will have to do some and see).

Skimmers randomly protect RNG surface sites, some are 'wanted' and ok to shoot, some are 'clean' and you get a normal bounty so police ships will attack within system. Found that out the fun way early on. Staying too long in the trespass zone turns the fine into a bounty too.

I shot a clean skimmer and found out real fast that's a bad idea. The game instantly put a bounty on my head and I had to find a Interstellar Factor to remove the bounty.

I used to blow up clean skimmers for the ant hill mob, it all adds to the fun!

After killing "Wanted" Skimmers in an Trespass Zone, My SRV was attacked by a support ship for the first time. I was able to exit to the main menu without to much damage.

When will the videos be released of the incident, the washup of the incident, a breakdown of what lead to the incident and the aftermath of the incident (I make that 4 videos, could be more though)

I try to post when I find interesting content for discussion. No one is ever held down and forced to watch any video.
