Let's talk about 'Honor'

[BrigandPhantos77]

My honor is at 48 and I get a pretty healthy amount of bails.

Actually, I miss quite a few because they take too long to bail. It'd be better if they bailed and then radioed their message about it. Those Tempests keep going until that ship registers as non-hostile and I can't always disable the turrets

Most commonly, I've been running a Carrack with Plasma Beam Cannons and System Override Software. I get lots of tiny hits which seems to helpful for finding that threshold for fighter or freighter pilots to decide they're not that brave. Pilots I pick up usually go to the Goner Temple unless they're worth quite a bit or they are skilled enough to become a Universal Trader

My biggest problem is actually post bail. They like to bail red in color. So either turrets or assisting fighters shoot them.

I decided to play with my new toy "Odin"... and ordered it to attack a Duke's Athena. I got it to bail really quick, but one of the Rapiers decided, ooohh shiny red target. Bye bye pilot in space suit. Poor Paranid pilot.

I get that red pilot scenario usually on missions. My own turrets won't hit them, but everything else will including the swarm of light missiles I send out to thin out the herd. Laser towers also like to happily vaporize those. I don't think friendlies killing them counts against my honor. But when it's my own missiles...

Duke and Darkspace both have armored freighter pilots that are big on self-preservation. I've put some of them back to work in their own ships

Friendly fire does count, I confirmed that when one of my rapiers vaporized that pilot. As long as you don't own what kills them your fine.

If you set turret to attack enemies they will target them as well. I keep it on missile defense unless I am going Xenon routes.
I've splattered a few due to full cargo a few times as well. oops

I use a combo of attack capitals and attack fighters instead of attack enemies, excludes freighters stations and astronauts in vanilla, with the newest unofficial patch though my turret code optimization completely ignores Astronauts that aren't marines.

Mean this as a bit of a gag.....

It still adds your honour point count to the logbook, but actually says here is your honour points, and makes you wait 30 seconds before it gives it to you. Tells you to wait while I check, then to stimulate...... erm simulate some bozo having to actually look them up for you.

I'm playing with the script editor and will likely change this as I learn more in the future. Use as you see fit.
