Crime & Punishment

just a quick query to clarify flags etc:

I am running a mission in a hi sec system and in the process of mopping up wrecks.

A player in an NPC corp flies into the mission zone and loots a wreck that belongs to me , he becomes suspect.

I blow up the wreck he just looted.

Do I become suspect to him for blowing up my own wreck? Does the wreck become his because he looted it ?

If after I destroy the wreck, he engages me directly while he is suspect what should happen regard timers, suspect flags etc?

Ok, thats odd, cos this guy turns up in a hecate and loots my wreck, exactly as i described, i had a 5 minute npc timer running.

After I destroyed my wreck that he looted, he was within 1000m of the wreck so I hoped he'd think i shot at him, he did and proceeded to orbit and start shooting, I sat there for a good 3 minutes waiting for concord to ruin his day but they did not appear, by which time he had given up shooting me as he was not inflicting any significant damage.

Positive.

I did not have any pvp agression timers or anything. the only timer I had was the NPC aggresion timer which ran out about a minute after I docked up.

At first I didn't realise he was shooting me directly, I thought he was shooting the mobile tractor unit next to me, but he wasn't, so I sat there, letting him pot shot me.

After 3 mins he had only done about 5% damamge to my shield and gave up.

Then that was all he was doing, he was chewing on your mtu hoping you would take a shot at it,

had he fired upon you there would have been more timers and belive me you would have known all about it, the hecate can push 800 dps cold with the right fit so im inclined to think he didnt actually shoot you.
Also the behaviour sonds exactly like a mission flip.

I think there may have been a graphical error making it apear his shots were going to your ship rather than the mtu, ive seen this a couple of times but usually in lazer boats.

Ah, good to know, thanks.

Might do, ill see what i can find when i get back to the pc.
Should have something but its hard to beat the ishkur.
Problem with that though is all the damn t3d's around.
Ive a magus fit im qurious about too. Ill throw them your way when i get online.

Thanks for the reply, as you say must have been some graphical glitch then. I'll have to remember to stow the MTU in future.

If you shoot the flashy yellow, anyone else in his fleet also gets a limited engagement with you.

He is one of two things:
1: Bait for a trap.
2: Wanting you to think 1.

Also: if you shoot the wreck he's looted, you turn flashy red. If you select the wreck as a target and point your mouse at the guns, the icon for your guns will have a halo, and the tooltip will have some text in it (if you haven't turned it off).

I wish I knew where you idiots even get this false information.....

I know it isn't just you, this really is what most missioners seem to think.....

But it is just so wrong....

Check your combat logs to see what he was shooting at you - he may have used a festival launcher on you hoping you'd shoot back and get yourself concorded. Was he redboxed, or yellow?

EDIT if it was only the hecate shooting at you and no rats, then losing 5% shields doesn't make sense, and I withdraw my un-smart comment.
