I received the " your station is under attack" message at about 17:30 GMT today, visited all three stations to see what was happening . No players about, all turrets at 100 % , one station guard (m14 ) at 71 % .

I think the guard had suffered roid damage as they tend to do. So, is it a bug that the guard damage seems to send out the attack message, or is it a suggestion that they shouldn't ?

Maybe it should say your station gaurds are under attack instead then

Yeah it says that station is under attack if someone attacks guards.

How about if the guard hits a roid, the message should say something like "Your station guard is drunk!" instead?

Heh, that would be fun Ray. Really, any future solution would be fine.

the m14 guards seem especially retarded, ive watched them crash into turrets on several occasions

Make that bump damage does not trigger IFF response/change.

Like missing capship docking not resulting in enemy cappie.

So if they self-damage against roids, turrets or whatever will issue no warning.
