what happened at this outpost what did i do wrong?!
- Thread starter ThatOneShep
- Start date
that's weird, because i clearly remember seeing this type of stuff being mentioned in the logs (being scanned on foot while having illegal goods in inventory for example) and it was really obvious.
so the missing events leading to getting agro, could be just another bug
Something similar just happened to me. I landed at an Odyssey settlement owned by a faction that I am allied with, the landing pad lit up and the contacts, mission board and commodities market were all live, the operational status was listed as Normal. I was buying some commodities when I got the ship under attack vocal warning. I was in a well-engineered Vette so had plenty of time to investigate. I took off and could see ground fire was coming from shielded on-foot NPCs so landed out of range, disembarked and went into the settlement. There were 6 scavs with bounties, the base was powered-off like a normal abandoned settlement. The scavs are now dead. The faction state is None. So the oddity here is that the ship station board looks normal and says operational even though the base ground buildings are powered-off with scavs prowling about.
Unintended pad blocking with big ships has been an issue since the alpha, and AFAIK odyssey settlements still don't send a pad blocking warning to your journal. So the OP probably docked at a settlement with the lethal pad arrangement and a minute or so later triggered the loitering response.
Definitely a case for customer service to restore the loss.
Thanks for the post I’ll now always enter the hanger when landing on planets. Rough place ED

You cannot - you died in an Odyssey settlement (no hangar in Settlements). So always pay attention when landing at settlements.
That would not be possible in an normal Planetary Port / Outpost. The moment you dock at those, your ship is invulnerable
Ahh thank you… I’ve only done a few settlement missions but had not realised I could use services when landed… just departed ship and got on with the mission. As I say dangerous place
UPDATE
woooo! soo after contacting CS they saw that i was attacked for "tresspass" but there was no justifacation for it in the log. so ive been fully reimbursed and reverted to my pre bug state. getting all my cargo, vouchers, scan data, ect ect back. thank you all for helping me out and pointing me to CS to get my stuff back!

Also be aware that not all Odyssey settlements have large landing pads...which is where the OP had issues...Ahh thank you… I’ve only done a few settlement missions but had not realised I could use services when landed… just departed ship and got on with the mission. As I say dangerous place
I landed at what was supposed to be a friendly allied Odyssey settlement using APEX and noticed it had been powered down while in solo mode. Was immediately attacked and killed for piracy by the NPC ground team security. If you're going to cheat me like that then list and mark the settlement as hostile or put a warning up. I'm pretty sure someone else did the power down piracy mission or just attacked the settlement and that's what got me killed. As an ally I should be able to help the settlement not get executed for someone else's acts. I wasn't on any missions at the time either. I just wanted to visit the allied settlement. Maybe I'll just land and kill everything from now on so at least if I get executed it's for an actual purpose other than built in player harassments logic. Negative logic is going to get a negative response every time. Star Citizen is about 10000 times worse but is gaining players because of the unfriendly atmosphere in ED and that's a fact I've been seeing on youtube.

Yeah, I'm having this issue right now. I'm in a pretty beefy T-10 so I can hurridly do my commodities business with only about 10% loss to hull after shields drop, but it's hella annoying! Yet, it is exciting. Oh and for some reason, I thought it was all about unpaid fines, so I paid them at an interstellar factor facility but it still happened. And then, I looked at what fines were needed to be paid at the settlement and not only were my fines still showing as unpaid, but one of them doubled so I paid again and still got attacked. Now I'm just skids hot and drop and load and lifting off as fast as I can! LOL! Hope they fix this soon.
OP, you should download and install EDDiscovery.
Although it has many options you may not find useful, one of the things it does really well is parse your Journal Files and displays it in an easy to read format, so, when things like this happen, you can easily see what happened, step by step.
You need to install it and configure it, pointing it to your Journal Directory to see the logs. You can also configure it to talk to Inara and EDSM if you have accounts on those sites.
It's a handy tool for Elite. Works on Horizons and Odyssey.
It will save you time and effort in looking at Elite Journals.

For any that might stumble on this looking for info, it's a bug but can be avoided entirely by not landing at pad 4 with a really long ship (Cutter or Beluga). See my post over here.
Whenever I land with my Type 10 Transporter on a small (friendly) settlement - every type of small settlement with only one large landing pad - I get a message that I entered a trespass zone. The settlement will start firing shortly after my type 10 is docked properly. No time to do anything in the menues (like trading). I need to undock immediately and escape the firing zone or have my costly ship blown up.
This happens every time, no custom additions to my type 10, no illegal cargo, no bounties, no missions. Just an annoying bug. Unbelievable that I still can‘t play the game with my Type 10 properly after more than one year!

I was landing at the engineer in Wyrd a2 the other day. Anyway, came in at wrong angle and got the loitering warning. Trying to quickly spin round and approach again, I clipped something ( it happens) and was informed bounty for opening fire.. I didn't, weapons were stowed. Just a silly mistake. Barely got out alive. Paid fine at another station, went back and they were my best friends. Fickle gits.
If you mean you haven't installed any ship kit parts then I can't help you, but I had the same issue with my cutter while ship kit was installed. Removing it solved the problem for me. It was a few patches ago, though.
