stormyseasonsSo, I'mma playing Vega Strike. And today, I learned how to run like mad from 3 different allied factions all suddenly mad at my PC for some unknown slight. Or rather, unknown kills of 4 merchant ships - somehow. Given that I don't target anything but a Luddite...
Spent at least 30 minutes at my comp, trying to run to a friendly system while the offended faction seems to get offended that I'm not dying yet, and sends heavier ships after me. Including capships and heavy ships, and their fighter contents. So, a jump into a system goes like this: Jump in. Search for hostile ships. Get target lock. Hit insystem special drive and bolt for a random jump point while dodging hostile fire. If autopilot takes too long to achieve this under fire, switch navcomp target to another jump point in mid flight, disengage auto pilot, turn it on again, and repeat until hostile ships lose target lock. Do this until perfectly lined up with jump point in straight line. Hit the accel and bolt for jump point. Repeat until reach reasonably peaceful system.
Just as soon as I find some Luddites, they're getting shot to hike as many faction ratings up as possible. And once I sort out which factions I don't mind annoying, some of those irritating attackers are getting some return fire instead.
