Non Wanted Raiders/Scavengers

[BDelacroix]

Anyone else getting scavengers at restoration sites who are nonetheless hostile and give you a bounty for defending yourself and your equipment?

It is only one or two out of the bunch.

Now it is getting irritating since I have a notoriety penalty.

There are sometimes powerplay agents that helps you (don't know if there are enemies too). I had one restoration mission where there were a couple of NPCs helping me take out the scavs, but they did start attacking me when I made an illegal download. So note to self, if there are pp support troops, disable alarms before downloading anything illegal, and I suppose don't let them scan you if you carry something illegal. I couldn't help myself so also ate a point of notoriety..

That would be different behaviour to ship PP friendly NPC. I got scanned by them while carrying illegal cargo, after they helped me fight enemy PP NPC in a Fortified system and they didn't mind.

We took out the scavs together, but after powering up the settlement I downloaded some illegal data and one even came running into the power building and opened fire. I'll try some more later, they don't earn massive amounts of merits, 300 for the power up mission, and whatever you get from the downloaded power data.

Next time I'll also try to check them out in closer detail, maybe they were omnipol or maybe from another power instead of being from my own power.

Never saw this before Ascendancy dropped.

Took some exterminate scavengers missions on Saturday and took out everything in the settlement and noticed I had a bounty and a notoriety of 1. At first I though it was a bug and if you killed a scavenger outside the settlement you now got a bounty for murder. Went and paid everything off and got my notoriety back to zero.

Went and did the next mission and this time in the settlement I saw when I killed one that I got a bounty. This time I noticed the commander had a suit that was not like the suit scavengers always wear. Went and paid everything off and got my notoriety back to zero.

Third mission, this time when I saw the different suits I figured out they were not scavengers. This time I did not kill any of them and when all scavengers were gone the new suit commanders did not attack me.

At this time I assume it is new game play added by Ascendancy since I have never seen it before and I take exterminate scavenger missions all the time since I like to do them.

So...there are just rando PP agents hanging around dead settlements now?

No scanning occurred. They just come running and shooting like they are a scavenger (I'm just doing power up and carrying nothing illegal).
Additionally, I thought this as well and checked. No PP association.

Right? Who do you have to off to get that assignment?

 

[BDelacroix]

I tested this a bit more. The non marked npc just wanders around until they see you then starts shooting. At that time, you are allowed to defend yourself with no repercussions.
If he or she gets caught up in a rocket blast, well, can't do much about that.

Did you forget to turn the alarms off?

 

[Jack Winter]

I didn't think I needed to turn off the alarms as the scavs were dead, though I didn't expect to be attacked by my allies. But no matter they died and not much harm done..
