Hi all, I wondered if this was a bug or not with planetary missions.
At Lave, accepted a planetary mission for Lave Radio Network (yeah, thoooose guys!!) to do a planetary scan. - the mission text did not give any indication of it being a 'hostile' one - I've been doing missions all summer where I would go out to a beacon, scan and head back without any incident.
Had a message pop up saying that "..some of our equipment has malfunctioned ... " etc - so I assumed this was more of the same - I mean, if it's *their* equipment, it must be no threat.
Went off to the system and planet, landed and drove over to the outpost -- which had a red box around it .. what gives? why the red box? At this point, I know it's going to aggro when I scan the Private beacon (nothing in the mission told me it was going to be a private beacon) so I did it quick, incurred a fine and booked it on out of there, back to Lave and collected my reward.
my question is this, Is there no way from the mission brief that tells me that this is a 'hostile' act and it could put me at risk? - that way I could make a determination whether or not to accept it.. the fact that I also got the "some of *our* equipment has malfunctioned" message seems like a bug to me, because clearly the equipment did *not* belong to them but the faction that fined me when I did the scan.
