I recall being scanned right about the time I launched on missions, but I don't know for certain

It wouldn't surprise me if they ignored you by default during the storyline. If the police became hostile, then wouldn't your LSF friends become hostile as well (as their allies)? This would kind of mess things up a bit. Where are you managing to pick up cardamine during the storyline anyhow? Most storyline missions don't take you -near- a cardamine hauler or dealer planetside.

But with a mission, you can't go outside the mission area, or you lose. So that sort of kills that option.

"Although I do not consider myself a member of the Bounty Hunters' Guild, I find that their goals and mine often follow the same path. I will aid them when I can...if they give me a percentage of the salvage from whatever they frag along the way. But god help them if someone puts a bounty on THEIR heads, for I don't care who I hunt for, as long as their live capture(or untimely death) can get me enough credits to buy a decent sized mug of my favorite drink."- A Freelance Bounty Hunter.

Anub- damn, what IS the plural for that? Anubii? Anubises? Anubice?

No there are no cardamine outlets but the are wrecks really close to the start point that you can obtain cardamine from, gives you a nice boost at the start either way you choose to use it ...

in the first storyline mission that u go to colorado u can get the alien artifact from the fighter, with isn't suposed to die

i had that once, tright it also other times, but then showed the massage that u may not attack neutral targets

i had a defender when shooted him death and beamed in the alien artefacts... 1 shot was neaded

if u haven't got time to relaod, don't wast ur time by trying, but et it live...

If u c some1 in a dagger make fireballs from hunters it can be me

I was interested in this problem, so I went back and started SP again last night. Got the cardamine from the Flint as soon as I was set free at Pittsburg and flew around for ages, entered bases and planets .. not a thing. Agree with prior suggestion about staying freindly with LSF for the sake of the story, always get challenged after the story.

You don't even see any NPC's during the SP-campain missions unless they are scripted to show (like during mission 2) Space is just deserted during those missions.
