Simple pursuit without combat can make you hostile?!
« on: January 05, 2016, 01:54:52 AM »

Well i got strange situation then pursuing independent smuggler with pirate colors near the pirate base with transponder off result in reputation loss all the way from friendly to hostile if they run long enough to switch colors back and transponder on player fleet turned back on. No combat needed at all - "you identity is revealed and linked to recent hostile action". Which hostile action it would be?

transponder off is not authorized per independant faction, no? If you go transponder on, maybe this fleet see a spy for them.

Smugglers changing factions is a leftover from previous versions. It was meant to emulate the transponder behaviour.

When attacking smugglers, make sure you approach them with your transponder off and leave no witnesses if you plan to hang around their destination area.

Well point is they never get attacked at all. I approach pirate station without transponder signal and check inventory - unknown fleet running away in circles. Thinking they are pirates i set fleet to chase them until i see their fleet composition on sensors and then set new course to jump point and engage transponder - boom - hostile with independents down from friendly at once.

I think it's suppose to be this way,anyone who trade with pirates should be treated as pirate as well.
