Where are the Police?

Evening all Merry Christmas and all that jazz!



SO I've been playing a few "naughty" missions of late and in all the times I've interdicted or robbed some poor NPC the police haven't turned up once since the new patch... now my cargo distribution business is going great but I've even had a few "assassinate X number of authority" missions and even when pulling a member of the security service out of FS they give the old "reinforcements incoming" spiel but no one ever shows up (which is annoying because that's what I wanted!). Did I miss something story-wise that means all the security pilots are on strike or such?



Cheers.

Security get Christmas off I guess!

I've noticed this too. Hunting in a High RES , only fed there is 1 Viper mk3. Poor guy. Was trying to fight a wing of 1 conda and 2 asps. Lol

I saved him. Still no reinforcements!
I also managed to get a bounty for firing before a scan was completed. But no one was around to shoot at me so I continued to hunt for another hour before jumping out and back in again to dock.

They're all playing "Ram the Civilian" at station entrances to celebrate the holidays.

All the Security ships are in for repairs after RAMMING every ship they scanned recently.

Is it security SHIPS that scan us when we arrive at stations? I always assumed it was the big-arss station itself doing the scanning. That might explain why so many times recently my ship has lurched sharply immediately after a scan was announced on approach to station. I just thought that was just a bug.

Yes I noticed that a lot recently. Police do not like to show up in high intensity RES now. They somehow prefer having a police viper mkIII vs wanted anaconda. This might be an Easter egg? Frontier is laughing at the real world police in this way?

Its a bug since the 1.5 update. Nearly every ship that scans me crashes into me. Security ships or pirates do it. They are fixing it. I'm assuming that will be after Christmas now. Very annoying. I've lost lots of credits and become "Wanted" because of it.

ahhhh interesting. Thank you all,


btw I think FD decided to give me a bit of a trolling considering my recent trader massacres, pulled a t-9 plus escorts to find 334 limpets and 98 units of scrap... well played FD, well played.


Time for an early night.

Walst undermining hudson if I am being lazy and let my turrets do all the work some times I do see two little yellow blips apear at the edge of may radar but I am usualy heading back to super cruse as this happens so I dont know its the fuzz but I asume it is.

I thought the scan ramming was cus I was in a conda and the npcs didnt know how big my ship was.. it has saved me money when conda smuggleing as they usualy have to re-scan me after they have crashed he he

The last time I played, they were harassing 'innocent traders' like me on the grounds that I might be carrying contraband goods. I ask you, get caught smuggling a few things a couple of times (ok maybe more than a couple of times and maybe sometimes it was more than a few things;)) and they regularly target you. They claim they were acting on 'reliable intelligence but it seems more like police harassment to me. I guess the system chief just told them to round up the usual suspects.
