Powerplay NPC Overly Aggresive

Why?

I was just a rank 3 Hudson. Haven't done any PP since expansion is live. But my wing's home is in Torval's area. Never really a problem pre-2.1. Yes, I get interdicted but I just run away to avoid bounty.


Yesterday I played for about 5 hours. Here's some that I remember, but there are more.

1. Just leaving a station in Torval area. Interdicted twice. First one by a Master-rank Cobra, which half-way in combat, two more of his buddies Cobra drop out to join the fun. Barely get away with 50% hull. Can't remember the second as I got a broken canopy and 50% hull. I just got away with 37% hull.
2. Travelling supercruise in ALD area. Interdicted once by Mahon's DBS. One by Archon's Python. One by ALD's fanatic club.
3. HazRes in HUDSON area (I'm Hudson, remember?). Interdicted by a Archon Python. And thanks to a tiny bounty I had in the system, 4 police ships dropped out middle of combat and start shooting at me after scanning.
4. HazRES in Torval. Just entered the res, 2x Torval was gaining speed fast. Started attacking. Suddenly a Liyongrui joined in, and an independence, i forgot which, joined the fun. that's 4 ship attacking me based on my allegiance.


There are a bunch more but I'm mixing it up with the bounty hunters interdiction who go across the galaxy to track me down....

I'm not complaining. Just.... venting.


I think I'm gonna defect from President Hudson. With all due respect, sir. But my heart can't take it.

I was in a hostile area yesterday, and experienced the same in HighRES and at nav beacons. PP NPCs are very aggressive. I got my ass handed to me.
 
In friendly territory, powerplay NPC's can spawn and assist you in killing them, you can also use security if report crimes is on.
 
Yep.
I quickly dumped my PP faction in the Beta.
Was sizing up a carefully selected target to test the new AI and BOOM, a wing of 2 "other-faction" ships joined him. Wasn't pretty.

It DOES make sense that they would go for you, but combined with the harder AI I don't think PP will be for me.

Off on holiday tomorrow, so you good pilots can test the game for me for a week and I'll keep reading the updates. When I get back I expect to have all the bugs (!!!) ironed out and the locations for all of all the engineer goodies ready to use ;)
 
past weekends it's the same story. jumped into a system and hazres, n few PP would follow behind me.

I dropped Hudson and jump back and I'm no longer hostile in the system. few more NPC jumped in and.......... they IGNORE me and started fighting between themselves. LOL
