[0.9a RC10] Penalised twice for (momentarily) running with transponder off?
« on: November 30, 2018, 12:24:42 PM »
- Was in Tri-Tach space
- toggled my transponder off by accident (forgot where I was)
- immediately toggled it back on again
- nearby Security Patrol immediately gave chase, stopped and lambasted me for it.
- a few seconds later, a Tri-Tach Security Flotilla did the same.

I thought being punished was supposed to cause other patrols who were actively chasing you, to give up?

On a related note, if you choose to engage patrols that are investigating your lack of transponder, they don't seem to call in nearby reinforcements?

Patrol behavior vs transponder off doom fleets is senseless and annoying.
They will keep trying to investigate you, then attack if you refuse endlessly, each time for new relationship penalty. Even if your huge doomfleet just destroyed large all large patrol fleets in system and bombarded colonies.
Basically AI annoys/bores player with repetitive fights against small pickets into enabling transponder.
