Mission faction behavior...

Anyone else notice that if you take a mission against a faction you're red to, any of that faction that you pass on the way to the mission area are white and do not attack? Anyone know how this is implemented in the game?
Thanks!

At a guess I would say this is hardcoded - I haven't come across anything in the ini files to do with missions that turn the ships white.

yeh i have noticed that, when they are you enemies there outline box is red, when there nutral its white and when there friendly there green, oh and if there yellow your pissing them off!lol maybe because they were green or white and you have shot at them! this shows up so you dont attack the wrong people!

blimey:

If you take a mission against a faction that is hostile, the reason EVERYONE (including nomads) turns "white" is so that you won't get waylaid on your way to the mission..........it enables a free run to the mission for you.

Same with when you finish it, the factions are still neutral to you as well - so you can make a clean getaway.........

Finally - the yellow is when they are talking to you. (ps - if that was a joke, your humour needs work )

Its probabily hardcoded.

Thanks for the replies. I was just curious because I've been working on faction issues. I wanted to see if I could alter the factions down when you took a mission against them so they did hassle you on the way to the mission area, instead of up. I *think* I have a way to make more varied missions like cargo and prisoner deliveries (maybe even with escort), and I wanted to incorporate being intercepted on the way.
But I won't be working on that until I've finished hashing out the flight/fight issues. It's a lot more fun to dogfight now, I'd have to say- a wave of lousy RH Stilettos managed to take me out in a Falcon last night. It's definitely good to have wingmen for company out there now
