Corporations ganging up on IRE production

Post by Progress-M » Sat, 6. Nov 10, 12:31

Any reason behind this you can think of?

I have done a few building missions in the Unknown Sector east from PTNI Headquarters, amongst them an IRE forge.

The IRE forge is now surrounded by Weapons Dealer TM's from OTAS, Plutarch and Strong Arms, along with their escorts. The escorts are not firing, but the TM's are pounding on the station's shields with no intention to go anywhere.

Just random aggression towards pirate-owned factories or?

check the station ID number, if it starts with an "I" then it's a pirate station, TM turrets will be set to "attack enemies" so they'll see the station as an enemy and the turrets will attack it.
Plus since IRE can be a good money maker, lots of freighters will go there to buy the product.

Yep, pirate station it is...aww, shame, I was happy about my little pirate sector being so lively and busy and now the corporations are all "you need a licence for this"...
