But it never happened before. When I wake-scanned at a station there was a verbal cue from the flight controller saying weapons fire was not allowed, and nothing happened, I could wake-scan happily with no fine. Here, there is no verbal warning, but an instant fine, even in Analysis mode with no weapons. What has changed?
