Today I was transporting some Aluminium Ore and was attacked via cruise disruptor in the Omega-3 system by an Artificial Intelligence vessel.
Now from my encounters with AI vessels in the past, I have never been attacked by one, they have always just been curious about the cargo and basically had a bit of a chat and left the area.
This one however had immediate intention to destroy me, which is very concerning and please see the transcript below of the encounter.
[26.05.2022 19:52:08] T-09: Organic threat detected.
[26.05.2022 19:52:12] T-09: Scanning
[26.05.2022 19:52:13] TCL|Tyrone.Harrison: Was that necessary
[26.05.2022 19:52:22] T-09: Valuable ore onboard. Execution protocol engaged.
[26.05.2022 19:52:26] T-09: Weapons free.
[26.05.2022 19:53:12] TCL|Tyrone.Harrison's cargo is now full.
[26.05.2022 19:54:48] Death: TCL|Tyrone.Harrison was put out of action by T-09 (Gun).
This AI was flying a bomber vessel but I could not get time to scan it properly as I came under attack almost immediately and tried to defend myself, but unfortunately my vessel was disabled.
I would suggest we make it uncomfortable for this vessel to proceed to attack our convoys and we will be making sure our escort vessels are informed of it and made aware, aswell as other means.
