Shooting gates turning pirate bases hostile (AP)

Post by Karmaticdamage » Sat, 1. Sep 12, 12:37

So ive noticed that if you shoot the gates in any system that has a pirate base you get the warning "you've been warned, pirate ships will hunt you down like vermin" message and the pirate base turns hostile. Doesn't matter who owns the system.

Are all the gates in the game set to the pirate faction? Happens quite often when gunning down xenon coming through the gate on xenon invasion missions.

No the OP is correct and that is how it is in TC as well. Pirate Bases are very sensitive about their access gates. It is maybe another incentive to be careful with your fire and your collision-avoidance near gates just about anywhere.

You may well also upset the local military if you happen to do this enough in a commonwealth sector.
