So, thought I would try a few missions. Ya know, just something to do.
I pick up said mission to visit a Starfarer wreck site to pick up some cargo that had been insured. I cruise out to the wreck site and there are no pirates about, there is however, an Aurora already there, so I think "No big deal, just grab the box and go".
But there was all this debris floating around, crates of minerals, metals and gas containers. Why, that is a safety hazard, that is! All this stuff floating around like that.
So, being civic minded, and determined to do my civic duty as any good citizen should, I begin to do a bit of a clean up operation and load a few of this debris into my Death Penguin.
Suddenly I hear this popping sound. This guy is floating around, about 100 meters away, shooting at me...with his pistol... I am thinking "Really? A pistol?" He is seeing no effect, so he switches to his primary weapon and begins to fire away at me...with his submachine gun...
I decide to leave the poor mouthbreather alone, I mean he has issues, and is not the sharpest bowling ball at the bowling alley. I am starting to get into my Penguin, when I hear ship weapons fire. I am thinking to myself, "Okay, if he wants to scrap, then let's scrap". I notice however that the lasers I do see are not coming in my direction. Odd.
I get in the cockpit and fire up the engines. Instruments come up... Lo and Behold, this guy is now duking it out with a couple of pirates. Apparently, once he took aggressive action, it triggered something and he is now having to run away from these pirates. Hilarity! I plot a course to deliver the goods for my mission.
Which was borked and the guy would not talk to me. Also, upon returning to Port Oli, I find I cannot sell my salvage. It consisted of mostly minerals, some metal and a few gases.
But you know? It was kind of worth it, watching that guy try to deal with a "Learning Experience".
