Ok, so I left the station with approx -625 hate, killed a couple bots, and then the hate from the Itani increased to -645. What the heck? What's with the hate? I really don't want to go KOS like this.

Were you killing trade bots or station guards?

That sounds like CTC bots.

We Itani are apparently a hateful bunch...
But I think Martin has it. Were you in Bractus, perhaps, FreedomBird?
