Hi all, I've signed up to these forums in order to find out if anybody can explain the issues I'm having with the local security forces. I've recently taken up bounty hunting in my Viper and have been following a particular plan of action.
I got to the Navigation Beacon near the sun of my chosen System and wait for Wanted pilots to show up. I'm not using a K-Warrant scanner so I know that all of these ships are actively wanted in my System. On destruction of the Wanted ships I note that sometimes other NPCs turn red to me, however they are still listed as Clean and do not generally open fire.
Sometimes it is a local Security ship that turns red instead, I presume this is because they share a minor faction with the destroyed Wanted ship. Most of the time this is not an issue, however sometimes the Security ship will start attacking me (along with text cues such as "Commencing strafing run" etc.) forcing me to eventually bug out as it puts additional strain on my shields. The ship's status remains as Clean.
I have tried once to shoot at a Security ship that was firing at me and I was given a Bounty of 200 credits and a Wanted status for my troubles.
Can anybody explain the reason for local Security shooting at me after I destroy a Wanted ship, despite the fact that I am not Wanted in this or (to my knowledge) any other system?
Cheers
