Has an NPC pirate ever demanded you drop your cargo of Engine Components...?

[Lupusy]

so i flew out of new berlin

and a big harsh voice shouted out "Alright! We've caught you! Drop your cargo!"

and i thought.. ah ok i forgot to drop off some rebel pilot stuck in my hold.
so the drop cargo screen came up and i clicked drop cargo..
but as i clicked it i read "Engine Components" 3,000 units
WHOOPS!!!
$600k down the tubes....
Then a voice said "HAH! And we were expecting a tough fight..."


BUT i thought ONLY police npcs asked you to drop cargo?

how embarassing...

has that ever happened to you?

You have NO idea how upset I was...

[Linkero]

You ever play the game SP? The pirate NPC's can demand cargo just like pirate people. pirate NPC's work just like the police do, only they ask for almost anything they have in your hold. Police only scan for certain things. Me, I always just keep on going when a pirate npc asks for my cargo, like for instance take a trade lane or activate cruise. after i have a good start i click cancel


Edit: Just saw Orin'd post and heck yea I would be mad to.....takin my darn food :|

What is odd to me, a few days ago an NPC who was blood red on my radar asked for cargo. Meh?

But if you drop 3000 units, they'll tracor like 30 - 40 of them and then you can wait till they disappear and tractor it back.

Or just keep on flying and not give a damn.

The outcasts keep asking for my 1 unit of basic alloy... when I'm smuggling cardi for them! Idiots

I’ll carry this flag
To the grave if I must
Because it’s flag that I love
And a flag that I trust

[Gabrielle]

i have always found it very strange that npc will ask for more than they can carry i never stop or them

[jammi]

It is irritating when that happens, like when I'm in a Legionnaire in new London and the only safe base for me is Trafalgar. I'll have completed a mission against the BHG and have some 12 pilots, when a Junker will demand em, which is seriously annoying.

A few seconds later base = pew pew

And Orin, were you flying a titan in the Badlands in New york?
