Returning to the question of NPC aggression raised by the OP, there's one aspect that doesn't seem to have been covered specifically: convoys.

If you attack NPC haulers they will shoot back and you will get an aggression timer to their corp. Any NPC ship of that corp that comes within range will shoot at you, not just those you attack. This isn't a problem as, being haulers, the ships are very lightly armed with just one turret each.

Stations are a different matter - they have teeth. If you come within range of the guns at a station belonging to the same NPC corp as a convoy you have attacked they will fire on you. I'm fairly sure this only happens if the aggression timer is still running (but I've never tried it to find out!).

A few NPC corps have their own security forces patrolling at gates, so presumably they will also fire on you if you are aggressed to their corp.

There's no CONCORD response to attacking NPC commercial convoys, but it hardly needs to be said that you shouldn't attack a CONCORD convoy!

This does not make much difference though, as Concord will kill you anyway at this point.


CONCORD will kill you, the Blackbird is perfectly safe unless you reship and shoot it (but then, your GCC is also 15 minutes so you'll only be shooting the blackbird until CONCORD removes your ship from space).

The Hulk? Well, that depends on how quickly the Blackbird pilot managed to jam you.
