OMNIPOL security guards

[SteveWW57]

My notoriety is 0 and no fines or bounties. Omnipol agents I have come across seem to be acting like regular guards. Stop, scan, and tell you to be on your way.

Me neither and i've done thousands of missions, but indeed i didnt got (much) involved lately in on-foot missions. Lately as in the last 2 months.

This is my Colonia unlock trip, in last November, mostly on-foot missions (383 out of 410, rest being in-ship donation missions to gain rep with the factions)
I'd say that most of the missions listed as expired by Inara (if not all of them) were actually completed - so safe to say that in 350 missions i never seen any Omnipol guys.
And i'm pretty sure i never seen them before the last November either.

ED is fickle. I've seen about 7 omnipol guards. One just last night trying to sneak the 'ol ionized gas into the extraction base.

Ahhhhhhh.... Notoriety.

I am known to kill the hell out of some settlements ;D. I don't much fuss over notoriety as I try to keep bounties out of my normal work areas.

Can't say I've noticed them, but according to my stats I've killed a few of them. Are they the comedians that tell me to drop my weapon and surrender?

 

[Northpin]

Well, i did checked both my EDO enabled accounts and nope...

If they were shooting at me I probably didn't notice the uniform.

Personal anecdotal experience tells me they show up at higher frequencies the higher your notoriety gets. Setting off base alarms at notoriety 10 can even cause dropships to show up with full G5-geared Omnipol officers.
Unsure if this happens at criminal/anarchy settlements.

I've been around the bubble frequently with 10 notoriety, I've never had Omnipol drop in on me.

Even when I had over 2 million in bounties I didn't see any Omnipol. And that was when I ran almost 400 missions in one month in various systems and various settlements. I'm not sure which criteria I should meet to have them drop in on me.

That the point, no one expects....

Been doing massacre missions targeting non-criminal tourism settlements now, and Omnipol reinforcements have reliably dropped in every single time, even at low levels of notoriety.

 

[bangermsuk]

not seen any yet , unless they are at the detention center . registered has 0 kills (onmi police).

For 4500+ murders (50/50 guards/workers), my stats shows that I killed only 2 omnipol. But 98% of times, I hang out at anarchies, and there no omnipol at those.

I think they are only deployed if you are on non-anarchy settlements, and if alarm is triggered, while having some notoriety and wanted status. But unlike regular reinforcements (at vultures), they came from viper, and they was only 1 at time, cuz I recall one time when I killed whole non-anarchy settlement, two waves of thier security, and after this, much to my suprise, saw viper coming in wich droped only one person. I guess that was omnipol.

Still, no idea what criteria is needed to have them spawn, cuz it was not always happening. Maybe security level of system have something with it, donno.
