I was on a mission from the Zoner Consortium. Had to pick up 5 cientists from Willard at California, then a blood diamond somewhere and take them to O-74 (and take ss's all the way).
So I went to Cali, picked the bloody scientists, and went to Dawson Base at Hudson, a Liberty Rogues base (and I'm neutral almsot allied with them). I approached it and docked, buyed one unit of Bllod Diamonds, filled my bots/bats holds, repaired my hull and zarped.
Immediately after I undocked, I was blasted. The scanner didn't even registered what happened. Very pissed off, I undocked again and 3 seconds after I undocked, the base and everything around became red. They blasted me away again. Not happy, I left again. About 8 seconds after I left, the base turned hostile. Started shooting me, but I cruised away. I met a Rogue patrol along the way that was neutral, but became hostile after I passed them like 2km away.
Now, before coming here and complaining about it, I went to a ZOners chat on Skype to talk to the people there. It could have been a greenNPC to rogues and red to me that made them my enemy per osmosis. Could, except that the the times I checked the scanner there was none around. One NPC passed quickly away and made the rogues turn against me? Ok, could happen. But three times in a row?
And I docked at rochester, buffalo, go to badlands and etc and NEVER was attacked by Rogues. And thing is I lost money, bats/bots and about 1h30 hours of gameplay because of a bug! I want something to be done about it, people.
Annexed is a ss from my rep, so you can see how much the Rogues hate me.
So,. what could have caused it, and what can be done about it and about my loss? (no comments like "just play all again, guys. Seriously.)
Zoners ID, and hostile. Also, I fought Unioners before docking in this base in the past and that never happened.
Not to mention that the two subsequent times, there was *none* ships flying around. I only had 3 or 4 item on radar: The base and 2 or 3 weapons plataforms. The second time, I left, started charging the cruise, and when it was like 90% the base turned hostile, then each paltaform became hostile, the started shooting at me.
Almost like it looked and said. "Hey, look. target praticing!" and lazily followed me around.
(btw, I can't see the topics, I have to click on each post to read. That wasn't normal [at least wasn't till yesterday], is it?)
' Wrote:1. click on "My Controls"
2. under "options" on the left, click on "Board Settings"
3. in the section "Board Display Settings" make sure that the last 2 options that say 'number of posts to show' & number of topics to show' are both set to "use forum default"
sometimes, it will just fart on its own for some reason
"Who is it doing this synthetic type of alpha beta psychedelic funkin'?"
MacCello you must not spoil the whatever ceremonies - hence faction missions - of a faction to the public.
I'm pretty sure these NPC pirate just pirated you right when you undocked, since blood diamonds are valueable.
Additionally you really need to read the roleplay laws of each house - crossing the Liberty/Rheinland border with blood diamonds? Oh dear!
@Kristall: That is old news and a consequences of the war and adjusted relations. Example: Republican shows up, get shot by the Navy tradelane and FP2 starts shooting too. Similar things use to happen at Bonn.
PS: Why is this posted in Tutorials & Support anyway?
It didn't worked, schlurbi =/ I'm having problems acessing the forum, so I guess is something with my browser. But thanks =]
Kramer, I disclosed only the iformation necessary for understading of what happened, what don't comprises 10% of the mission. I follow the RP guidelines and I get it the importance of respecting faction rules, and I only came here after discussing the event with the faction first.
About the blood diamonds, I only packed them the first time I undocked (and one unit only for research purposes, so wasn't for profit). The other two times I ddin't even had bats or bots in my hold and got blasted the same way.
It was a long mission, and because of this bug I'm unable to complete it and lost 1h30. Money can be earned, ammo can be replenished, but time can't be retrieved. I will not risk doing this mission again to get blasted again by some wrong base coding or glitch.
And isn't here where we report bugs? oO If isn't, sorry =P (and where I should have posted it?)
