Weird stuff.... I was in the Sigma-13 system, Trying to reach them wrecks from them Imp. Navy fighters who carry secret weapons. Now i had a like lvl 5, 10000 Shield, and i was flying through the cloud to sector 3C. However, i was flying in all of a sudden i got Shield failure and before i knew it i was almost dead. Seems i had been flying through a very dangerous gas-type field. I mean, to reach those weapons and fly 20+ K through those damn clouds was Impossible! The second time i tried that i just got destroyed.

Also, I modded my game and was in Kusari, after escaping from Liberty and Bretonia, doing a few jobs before getting the first attempt at the prometheus tome. So i went to Liberty to pick up Boba Fett's Slave I in pittsburgh. When i got to New York, ofcourse everyone starting attacking me, but the weird thing was that Samura Industry freighters attacked me too. And i was full green friendly with them! Talk about "allies"!

The funniest thing I saw...

It was somewhere (I don't really remeber where. But there was a planet and the moon. You can land on the planet but not on the moon. Or vice versa. I don't remember ).
There where two Bowex (I think) transports. So I just joined them with the formation key. But something was not right. There were flying towards the planet (the one where you cannot land). So I left the formation and I saw now how Bowex transport burns in the atmosphere...
Well it wasn't my fault. The second transport was still trying to escape but... uh... kaboom...

*drumroll* The answer as to why your getting attacked!

Say that your friendly with one group (let's say, Liberty Navy) and hostile with one of their allies (perhaps the Libery Police).
So, your out on patrol, chillin' with the Navy, when a group of liberty police gets within range of your scanners. The navy will then turn on you because they think you ticked off their allies, automatically making you their enemy now.

My strange annoying occurance happened as thus. I like to come at docking gates, trade lanes, and jump gates sideways sometimes. For the sake of coming from a uncomonly used direction when smuggling and such. I will be at top curuise speed until within sometimes Ok of the object and then hit the dock button. The advantage is that i nearly gain instant access and am not a target for baddie gunfire or policer scanners. Babble Babble. Well i did this at the docking gate to liberty (while carrying a hefty load of cardamine) and the game decided i needed to reapproach, banged me off the gate a few times, flipped me around behind the gate and stuffed my freighter into manhattan's atmosphere. KABLOOIE! That was a $300,000+ load that i had to do all over. So now i try to keep an eye on my trajectory more.

Never underestimate the power of a gecko with a zipgun.

Talk about allies though. I was a full ally to Kusari and all her corporations, + some good points with the Rogues, Outcasts and Lane Hackers, and I had gone into Galileo to jump into Colorado ( Cardamine at Rochester =D) Anyways, I stopped at the Reppu Bend to get to the hole, and a bunch of Ageira start shooting Hackers. Then, A startracker saw me and fired. But Kishiro was around too and all of a sudden it turned into a this 3 sided battle with Ageira shooting the Hackers, Hackers shooting at the new Kishiro, and thankfully, Kishiro shooting Ageira, with the accursed little Trade lane firing off little lasers at me. Then, being the true ally that I am to AI, I swooped in and filled my hold to the brim. Best ever cargo: Cardamine, Light Arms, Optronics.
