So something strange happened to me earlier. I was flying in a HazRes in my FDL hunting some bounties for the CG, and I'm not sure if it was a bug or pure bad luck. I was fighting an Anaconda, while it was fighting a mining T-9 and it's 2 Sidewinder escorts.
Long story short, it was a bit of a knife-fight with me popping plasma at the Conda. Anywho, right before the Conda explodes (had about 3% health left), my FPS took a quick skip and I get two simultaneous fines for murder. It flashed by so quick, but I'm almost positive it was the same NPC name twice in a row, doubling the fine. It COULD have been both Sidewinders, but I didn't (AFAIK) hit them.
Maybe a stray plasma shot? I mean, it'd be a one in a million chance - it's hard enough to hit Sideys with plasma when you're actually trying. Maybe I or they collided? If that's the case, and they died, I would still accrue a wanted status, right? But seriously what are the chances of both Sideys colliding with me at the same time? Or even a single plasma shot striking both at the same time? I use all fixed so it's not like a turret or was shooting at them... Anyone else encounter this?
Arggh... what happens if I let someone kill me so I can finish off this CG? Never really had a bounty before that I wanted gone (i.e. assassinate target, move on). I can probably get by, but it'd probably just be easier to go get a Sidey and let someone kill me.
