Weirdness..

Just playing EV again after a break of a few months, and the weirdest thing happened. I just finished the T.A.G mission, and as soon as I take off again I see confed gunboats attacking a neutral argosy... I've never seen anything like this before, has anyone else? is this meant to happen?

Gee. you guys are helpful.

This is probably happening because the argosy was being attacked by a pirate or something, and a confed wandered into the crossfire. Or it was a pirate argosy....

Remember that you are a unique individual - just like everybody else.

Yeah, but if it was a pirate, it would've had the pirate tag. The thing about going into the crossfire makes sense, but my experience with EV shows me that an AI will attack its immediate enemy first, unless attacked by the player.

I've seen this type of thing happen occasionally, though usually with Confed Frigates. Generally, the Confed ill attack a Pirate, but one of the Torpedoes (in the Frigate case) will for some reason attack the merchant instead. The Merchant will then attack the Fed in self defense, and the Fed naturally kills it. This could be the type of thing happening for you, probably with a stray Heavy Rocket from a Gunboat or similar.

i bet you the argosy was smuggling some illegal cargo and the confeds found it. after all, the universe doesn't just revolve around you.
