' Wrote:... since they can't see your ID and stuffs they do it whenever you have precious stuffs in your cargo hold. That's really annoying when you're Zoner and want to keep your rep as nice as possible...
Perhaps, some codding could stop this NPC's function?
Yeah, it's annoying, but it's part of the game.
It's easy to get away from NPC's who are after your cargo, even in a Transport.
If they kill your cruise, kill your engine and use your thruster to get away.
The single best tip given in this thread so far is to NOT answer the 'drop cargo request'.
Just hit the 'X' in the top right corner and they will tag along for anywhere up to 15 seconds before they decide to do anything, which is normally enough time for you to be far enough away to be able to escape easily on thrusters.
