instancing problems ... in solo??

[znôrt]

today i have seen several times npc firing at invisible ships. this was not uncommon in open but is completely new for me in solo! anyone experienced this too?

so only me then. cool. well, didn't happen today.

but out of the blue a 'mission target' uss appeared in supercruise. the only mission i had was an unrelated pirate massacre mission. dropped in, a single wanted pirate was inside, no mission target. woot?

3.0 is weird. i also noticed that sometimes when you use 'next target' the selection triangles don't appear on the ship until you retarget it.

Was there any cargo in the mission USS? I had a random mission USS spawn once somewhere in early 2.x, when I picked up some of the cargo I got a message asking to return it to a local faction (which just happened to be the one with which I was friendly). To this day it's only happened the one time. The game could really use more of these unexpected moments.

no cargo, just a pirate fdl. i didn't try to kill it to see what happened, i needed to restock.
