Contacts don't care much about you robbing them?
« on: April 06, 2021, 01:41:44 PM »

I've not tested this much, but I had to cancel a mission to smuggle 300 organs, and the relations hit was laughably small - 1 and 2, don't remember which is for the contact and which is for the faction. What if I did that with one of those trade missions that give you a 1000 guns? And then you could really just scam pirates anyway, because who cares! Unless there's a consequence I'm unaware of, do they send mercs to punish you?

I don't believe that happened to me. This may or may not be an issue. I cannot test it right now, so asking for other's experience.

Yeah, complication fleets are the more dangerous aspect of dropping contracts.

Well that's awkward.
"Hey, remember that shipment of guns you gave me? Yeah it's gone..."
"Don't worry, friend, we all make mistakes, it's no big deal."
"What about that fleet of mercs trying to murder me?"
"I have NO idea who that was!"
