[0.9a RC10] Pursued by merchant fleets.
« on: November 24, 2018, 01:35:19 PM »
Yo,

This one is really strange - from time to time, I am getting pursued by independent mercantile fleets.

No, they don't attack me, they just bump into me, open the encounter window, and attempt to disengage. This is how it looks like (Before making this screenshot I've tried opening comm link, nothing out of ordinary there):


It most often happens in a system with my main colony.

I've also encountered this phenomena several times with other fleets - once I've been perpetually pursued like this by tiny Hegemony fleet (again, in my home system, a leftover of expedition escort), who would run up to me, open the encounter window, try to disengage. I click on "Leave", they chase me again, rinse and repeat.

Just emergency burn then go dark and move away - they will not stop chasing you unless you out of sensor range. Got same bug with scavenger fleet http://fractalsoftworks.com/forum/index.php?topic=14118.0

Seems it's happening with just about any fleets, independent or not.

BTW, those merchants had enough of pirates and their crap...

Just turn your transponder on and they will stop pursuing you. ;)

That's generally the role of Patrols, not Merchant fleets.  Only Patrols should accost you to turn on your Transponder, and this feels out of line (no matter how militarized the Merchant fleet appears to be).
