I know I somehow managed to get stuck, during my first session, with the starter ship... can't recall the circumstance but I'm sure it had to do with my newbie status. The gun(s) fired and destroyed that ship but of course I wasn't looking through an external camera to witness it.

Ive noticed if i go in when i spot it. The thargs are in fight mode with drones out and instantly attack me. Has anyone else experianced this
But if i wait 5 to 7 mins from first spotted and then enter. The battles over and the tharg is in scan mode and as long as i stay back is happy.
Has anyone actually timed this?

Just asking, cause I had several opinions that stated it should not be a thing and I should go post that onto bugs section on FDev.

Only if you are in space controlled by the authority with which you have the fine I believe.

It depends on whether you are a mouse or a raven.

Fines? No.
Bounties? Yes.
Are you sure it was fines?

WilliamReaceNumaWilliamReaceI'm not shooting my limpets, they just get 1 fragment and then expire immediately after dropping it off...
That's what happens if you have the scooping target actually selected as target instead of letting the limpets roam. Incredibly stupid mechanic. IMO the limpet should go back to idle mode or start collecting whatever else is around after bringing in the selected piece with priority.
oh, so it's a programmed mechanic....
I only want this single fragment piece and not all the rest of those bits laying out there, so it's only 101 credits per limpet and it just means I don't have to hoover the rest of the stuff. HAHA!
I'll be making sure to never target any fragments anymore with them out.
Just use the filters to filter out fragments you don't want

Except that I want to get all the fragments, that's why I depleted the asteroid, why would I want to filter out anything?
Hence the not wanting to target them any when launching the limpet.

I'm sorry that sarcasm doesn't translate in text without the pointer "he said sarcastically"
I'll remember to add that in there next time.
And again taking out of context with the rest of the sentence.

Near Apurui, in the 6 or so squares (hexes? regions? blocks?) of space that it sends me to on that corner of the 100:-68:100, 100:-68:200, 200:-68:200, 200:-68:100 regions(?).
Ah well, just means I'll get more practice once my Cutter is armed and ready to take the brawling to them.

WilliamReaceI wonder if pirate activity is increasing in my normal area, it seems like I get interdicted at least once after every jump now, even if the mission doesn't have an update for incoming enemy.
