Civ Kills

[SPiDER]

I would like to know if the following behaviour is 1. Correct and 2. Whether anyone else has experiance and or different experiance of this.

I am approaching a dock that has several of my ships docked at with active "attack all enemies" turrets....suddenly there he is! a red civ quick target it ,kill it and grab the steak....damn wasnt quick enough my Gorgon killed it first..


Ehh whats this I'm being sanctioned for an un-authorised kill....but I didnt shoot anything??????

The other thing that happens frequently is the other ship will hit the station and trigger a whole pile of dog do.

Even setting the station red and starting it firing at you.

Lesson number one. Never approach NPC stations with turrets set to attack all enemies.

Totally agree with that!

On this Thought, Civilian RED, Is there Any Way to ever get them Neutral Again??

If by civilian you mean the mass traffic ships that turn red, I think those are just criminal ships that you can freely kill to repair faction standing. No point trying to turn them back.

OP should not be getting punished for them dying as far as I know, unless his ships are unintentionally killing others at the same time. It might just be a bug though. Normally you can kill these all day long and as long as you don't hit something friendly, nobody minds.

The thing is if his turrets are kill kill kill, when a civ ship turns criminal aka red, they just shoot all over the place and hit mostly the station that turns red, next thing you know the whole faction is up your butt

..next thing you know the whole faction is up your butt

Well, you get a long way with a proper 'star formation', just do not let them turn it into a moon.

Did I read that right?

If you really want to upset a whole sector real quick, have a whole squad/wing set turrets to attack all enemies. Fly to an NPC station and wait for the inevitable criminal to appear.

Watch the "light show" for a few seconds then fly to the next station ... Make sure your formation is line a breast

No, I have seen Red for a Criminal at Bases, and those are OK To Kill. I Knocked off several Bases from SCA, and as they went down, I saw Red Ships coming off them, that were Civilian, Shuttle Busses, and Passenger Transports and such. They did not Carry The "Criminal" label, as they would if launching from A Station where they had Just Robbed someone...

I have my Turrets set to Attack My Current Target, not All Enemies, so If I approach a station, They don't Fire unless I click on Something...

I have a fleet in Pious Mist defending the area of space where the Kha'ak keep spawning. I flew into the sector on my flag ship and parked up while I went off to make a coffee.

When I got back my reputation with the Paranid had dropped and one of their stations in the sector had disappeared. Oops. Seems my being in the vicinity must have triggerred a fire fight between my fleet and the station.

So that was the only NPC station apart from Xenon that I have destroyed.
