Thats it... I'm declaring war on the Boron.

Well described problem, often by me. Doesn't make it any less irritating. Patrol mission-1 million. 3 sectors, 7-800,000 more added from kills. Took on 3 p's in my trusty perseus raider. During the conflict was caught in a storm of IBL and Ion D fire. A friggin thresher and hydra were "helping" by shooting me.

Got out of that one. Moved to another area out of range of tweedle dee and tweedle dumb. Took on 2 l's. One bailed, the other was destroyed pretty quick. Looked up for other targets just in time to see a hammerhead fly into the freshly bailed L. The end.

:evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:
Split now give me death? Nah. Just give me your ship.

There have been many times in this game when I can't help but think of the scene in HudsonHawk "STOP HELPING ME!!!!!"
Brute force and ignorance solves all problems, just not very efficiently.

If brute force isn't working, then you aren't using enough.

Sounds like standard procedure for Boron military operations - as it happens I'm one in my current game (Lost Lar) & most of my patrol missions involve filling the space around my ship with an indiscriminate storm of flak shrapnel & ion bolts. Tends to annoy everyone within about 3km of my ship (which is why I ended up naming my ship 'Collateral Damage').

I've had a Titan commander do much the same to me and assist in killing some twonky little fighters by chucking a zogging great missile into the melee. Thankfully I was in a Hype at the time and managed to survive (just)...

Afterwards I decided to "relieve him of his command" - lost a marine or two but gained a Titan and made the former Captain walk the plank without a space suit (or at least that's what I like to think).

I still remember when the Teladi fired on me for no reason... They hated me in the end for their mistakes.

I don't suffer friendly fire with much nobility either... I think that's what may have caused a distinct mistrust of anything sporting gills or extra retina...

I love getting a " .... must die!" mission, only to have the last shot fired on my target be from a npc "helper," that causes me to fail the mission.

or the "Destroy Ships" ones where the ships are in Pirate Alley and get toasted before your jumpers even kick
