Horizons Why have I been destroyed?

Suhuy_Helgram · Nov 3, 2016

I was visiting the Alien crash ship when I was ganked by Imperial NPC.

- I have no bounties
- My cargo hold was empty
- I had no passenger.
- I'm friendly with this faction

So why ???

I'm pretty tired of random destruction for no discernable reason. I can't even afford the cost to pay for my ship insurance.

Since this patch, It's the third Anaconda I loose for no obvious reason. I'm broke, now.

I'm really disappointed.

1st rule of E

is?......... (you should know this if you have a conda)

Suhuy_Helgram · Nov 3, 2016

I know the first rule.

The issue is since my last misadventure, I can't fly it safely due to this same rule (only about 1Mcr left).

If only I had a clear understanding of why I took aggro, I may prevent other similar mistakes. But from my point of view, It looks like a random destruction. So If you can enlighten me, you're welcome.

I have to ask, were you playing in Open? The ruins site isn't a safe place in Open.

If the area was quarantined then they warn you, and if you do not leave, blow you up.

Maybe It's a quarantine issue:

I actually landed on the surface and took my SRV.

I got stuck in the local geography, so I had to destroy my SRV.

For a strange reason, when I got back to my anaconda, she was no longer landed but flying over the Interdictor. I was destroyed in the following seconds (I'm fitted as an exploration ship, so I can't take much punishment).

I had no warning except ships turning red on the radar...

I play in Mobius group and I was destroyed by NPCs.

Should I fill a bug report for my ship respawning in mid-air?

I feel your pain. I got too close to a trigger happy fed in a cap ship above Palin's base last week, I was just admiring the view, again no warning just warming...

Is your Annie modded? how many NPC against you? With my modded Annie I blow up any NPC (unless they were more than three big ones!)

She's modded for jump range and a bit of fortitude... She's an exploration vessel.
I had an interdictor on my back with several clippers and couriers (about six npcs). Not something I can handle, and I was a bit surprised. Better reflexes may have saved my day.

My ship has some weapons, but since the engineer patch, I feel like they are useless unless you build a combat oriented ship.

Respawning in mid-air is probably not a bug if you drove far enough from your ship in the SRV, but re-spawning too close to the imperial interdictor so that it attacks you without possibility to avoid it would be worth mentioning to the developers.

Ugh, hope things went well!

Ah ok thanks, but six NPCs even with a fully modded combat Annie is difficult, and now with many weapons nerfed is worst!
