"Treachery" Why am I gettting punished ?

[XCaliber]

I am with Aisling Duval and to oppose A Lavingy-Duval I have a specfic task (Steal Lavingy Garrision supplies from Imperial Supply ships). I found that after I performed this task, I was given a notice of "Treachery!" and I lost 20 hard earned merits for punishment !!!! Yet I was able to turn in the Garrison Supplies that I managed to collect for a merit each. What's the Deal here ??

This makes no sense to me !!

Did you kill any of the Imperial Supply ships?

That is still Imperial on Imperial and thus frowned upon

 

[XCaliber]

Yes...it was making it difficult to collect the goods so I shot it down.

You need to use hatch breaker limpets or shoot out the cargo hatch if you're a decent shot. But don't kill them.

is it a matter of shooting the supply ships till they jettison the required cargo, then let them escape while you scoop?

lol.. i really need to try and type faster.. ninja'd

 

[XCaliber]

So are you saying .... as long as I do not shoot the ship down... I am ok to do this task without receiving a treachery notice ?

 

[Katkon]

Did you fly to Lavigny space for the supplies? If you stole the supplies from Imperial supply ships in Aisling space you'd be tagged a traitor. I was accused of treachery after mistaken a Lavigny craft for an enemy and shooting it.

 

[Vasious]

Limpets or cargo hatch, either way, rob but don't kill.
Gentle(wo)man's rules of intra-faction conflict at this stage

 

[FractalMind]

Note... To use limpets, you need to take down the shields first.

 

[XCaliber]

Ok this is good to know....

so... what's the trick to get the ship to leave after dropping all the cargo?

so i dont have to deal with it while collecting?

I had to fly into A Lavingy-Duvals system to do this correctly.

Combat scooping.

Do it fast before the local law enforcement warp in.

Lure the transporters away from the cargo, boost back, scoop and then get out.

Lol If I lure the ship away...it will just follow me on the way back....

as for the police... they sure do arrive quickly.... Pirating is a tough job !!

Thanks everyone for the help.

Happened to me, CMDR in his vulture interdicted me so I killed him and lost 40 merits, and also lost reputation with the Empire

 

[Frenotx]

You need to steal the cargo without killing the carrier.

 

[Agony_Aunt]

And turn off report crimes against me. You can end up reporting yourself!

 

[XCaliber]

Yes ... this is true.

I was able to steal without loosing merits if I did not blow their ship up.

I also had "Report Crimes" turned off, but the police still moved in fast.

I am thinking ... Pirating is for "Wings" not for Solo Pilots.

If there are solo pirates out there that can make the pirating process work, I would like to hear the details.

It's certainly possible to do solo, you just need to be strategic and pack the right goods. For really easy pickings, pull over unshielded, unescorted targets. DO NOT FIRE ON THEM. Just immediately toss a hatchbreaker on them. In all my experience, the NPC just keeps truckin' along like nothing's amiss. Send out a collector drone or two, pull in the booty, and scoot out of there. The whole affair is quick enough to avoid getting shot up by the cops (they might get a chance to scan + fine you, though).

This idea is great. I wonder how long it would take for me to find such a scenario.

No sense ? Really ?
You did attack and killed an imperial ship. Its obvious treason.

Even more disgusting is that you attacked ALD (baloved aunt of Aisling, and allied faction) ship which makes you special kind of backstasbber traitor.
Those missions are obviously federation sabotage. Avoid them, unless you fed V column of course.

Just go to Fed space and wreak havoc there and you will be fine.

They come up fairly often. Just be patient, and pick your targets carefully.
