I have refrained from posting this, but as I have no idea how to recreate this scenario, I thought, hell, why not, I thought I had figured it out, but hell no, haha, its pretty random.

Today, on a station guard killing mission I had not been assigned by a station regardless of my blurb on 100 (hehe) Somehow it turned out the Itani would not spawn a Strikeforce/Aerna on me, uhum I killed a CTC transport inside a no fire zone, I was so happy that no aerna seeker were launched, I forgot the station guards still attack me.. hehehe this was seen by Ghostwolf.

[edit]

Im -1000 Itani, and this was in Divina M-14

I wish I had that luck. I lost two moths to UIT strike forces the last two days :D.

Happened to me twice in Initros and i'm -1000 with serco. I can guess the explanation, but I would not tell to a pirate :)

hehe, Sun, I can kinda guess, but it seems to be a series of events, not just 1 thing, ie i have tried lots to make it happen, and nothing, and then for some reason, they just dont attack, maybe its a feature, hehe

And the bounties triggered today, so alls well there.

Ok, Sun Tzu, can you at least tell me what you think is causing this? I need to fix it.

happened to me a few days ago.

i started out the day -980 serco.
i botted up to about -850.

i came back on a few hours later. i go thru the wormholes...
no strikeforces at all. i go to monitored roid sectors...
still no strikeforces.

never tried attacking any guards or anything. but it was still
weird.

It happened again inside UIT space, and then again in Itani, uhum...

And Sun, dont post that on the forums if you really can recreate it, bug report it...

Ok i'll try to recreate it tomorrow and post a bug report if I manage to do it.

so the server is giving you 2 amnisty for your crimes agenst NPC's.... seems the devs are less forgiving. :D

I experienced a similar situation...I have -1000 UIT (I'm a pirate...) and I jumped into Azek I-16 to kill some traders, see what scraps I could pick up (I lost a wee bit of Orion standing testing to see if the faction-loss thing worked again. It does.) when I noticed there was a bunch of UIT strike force. They started coming after me, and I, in my loaded centaur, tried to run. It wasn't working too well, but the Strike Force just flew right over me. It was like a Station Gaurd in their patrol, but everyone was doing it. After about 10 minutes, real strike force showed up...but the point is that there was a whole force doing nothing.

A UIT Strikeforce will follow you to an Orion station, but then its like a stateline, its Orions problem. (Why UIT Space is a little more less safe than any other)

Recreated today.

I have no idea what caused it, I tried all day (well, a couple of hours) to call off the UIT strikeforces, nothing. (they are still attacking me)

I got bored while mining, and decided to take a shortcut through Itani space from Geria rutilius to Initros (hey, im yoda...) Well, i got to Itan, then it clicked, nothing making me (or trying to make me) go pop, I logged out/in, so its server side.

I thought it was related to several players jumping in the same sector at same time or shortly one after the other. But I was wrong. We tried several things in initros today - but strikeforces were always behind us :/

I'm bumping this thread as the bug is now regular: I'm -1000 with Serco but strike forces do not come after me in Initros O-12 or in Pyronis L-6. I've not seen them there in weeks. They do not even come out when I violate the NFZ (NPC kills or shots on players).

Regarding Pyronis, I am chased by strike forces on both sides of the Helios wormhole, but after a few jumps in empty sectors and finally Catequil Outpost they leave me alone. It used to be working the same way for the Pyronis capitol stations, save that it was not always wroking and I had to stay a little longer in the system jumping here and there before they ceased to be annoying.

Additional observation: it seems to be related to the player; yesterday I saw the strike force of Pyronis L6 going after another player.
