Hawk Wrote:Sovok, I hate to say it but he's right. Now, I know this still comes as a surprise to some Junkers. The reason being is that some time ago a Phantom hacked the Junker Congress message dump and made the statement that if we left them alone, they would leave us alone. Since that happened, they decided to change this policy. I'm still waiting for an official explanation as to why.
Right. Well, my character is not affiliated with the Congress in any way other than being a Junker himself. I couldn't figure out if that truce applied to the Congress only or to all Junkers, but it's irrelevant anyway, since I knew they were my enemy. Yes, it was stubborn of me to think that I would be safe in such a situation, that is why I did attempt to slowly leave the area. I sure didn't expect to be a priority target in a conflict where Outcasts, mercs, independent pirates, BHG, Libertonian authorities and Phantoms were present.
One thing I didn't mention: I was told that I am one of the Junkers which the Phantoms won't shoot by another Phantom earlier that day. Though I was sure that wouldn't last long, it gave me at least a few seconds of confidence afterwards.

You don't actually have to show up in the heart of Liberty to terrorise Junkers. Especially not right near a military installation. Blow up a Junker transport near a Junker installation or Junker ships, then they might notice that one (indy) was lost in the infinite space.

The first warnings made me realise I was in fact a target. Ten seconds afterwards, I was dead. Never had the chance to respond.
Hawk Wrote:At the same time I really don't care. They are nasty and dangerous and the game just wouldn't be any fun if there weren't any characters who fit that mold. My advice is to stay far away from them and get your salvage elsewhere.
Noted.

It's a shame that you can't actually see anyone but lolcaps, Nomads and Phantoms in Liberty. I was hoping for some RP, knowing that the faction is consistant of experienced players and that we did RP earlier that day, but you made me realise I was the one who made the mistake. Sorry for whining here.
