The Perils of trading in a Frontier system.
14 Jun 2015Mitch
Since the recent shifts in power trading in frontier systems is no longer safe. Yesterday I encountered an Imperial Clipper whilst trading in Gliese 581 (Zachery Hudson). The clipper, a CMDR AIO, was a part of one of the Duvel powers. Me and a wing man are neutral yet he proceeded to interdict and kill us, me being in a Python, escaped, my friend (T9) however didn't. We did not attack and initially submitted, yet no pirate role play occurred. It was a hit pure and simple, and the motivations are still unknown although I could speculate... But I digress.Let this be a warning to any traders on the front lines, you are not safe from the supporters of rival powers. No matter your allegiance, always watch your six and trade with extreme caution.
