[Solved it was convoy missions] Pirates jump in constantly just to attack me

[InFlamesForEver]

I am honestly not sure if this is the vanilla game or one of the many mod's/scripts I have installed but I have checked them all out and I don't think it is any of them. If its not a vanilla problem then I guess I'll PM a mod to move this to S&M but I thought I'd check here first.

Ok well this is actually causing me a great deal of frustration right now because I have finally saved up enough money to build a decent complex to start building ships from my two HQ's but every five mins a fleet of between 4-10 pirate ships jumps in to any sector I am in and makes a b-line for me. Now I can take them on, and killing them isn't an issue in the slightest but what is an issue is that I can't do anything other than kill them because once one is dead then a load more jump in and its really damn aggravating

So basically I think it started happening after I killed the pirate base for the AP PHQ plot and now when they said pirate ships will hunt me down like vermin I didn't take them literally because I've killed many a pirate base before now and no consequences other than a loss of rep to show for it. Has this happened to anyone else before?

Basically I am starting to think something is wrong with my install because along with the other problem I was having with F/F settings changing on their own I am starting to feel I have either borked an install or a mod has borked my game. Can someone please tell me this is vanilla and it will stop at some point


BIG EDIT: So I solved the issue and it was vanilla behaviour, it turns out the new convoy missions don't like to be taken in massive hordes because they will spawn endless pirate ships on you.

"Pirate ships will hunt you down like vermin" is the line that is spewed when you attack a gate (accidentally or not) in a Pirate sector. I have no idea how to fix it, but I imagine you'd have to get your Pirate rep back up

Hmm perhaps I shall try that, I'll experiment by cheating it up and seeing if that changes anything. Thanks.

Well max rep with them makes no difference, there is definitely something wrong here.
