Argon Colossus has decided to hunt me down

Spyman · Post by **Spyman** » Sat, 13. Dec 08, 02:45

I updated to patch 1.3 a few days ago now there is an argon colossus in the wall that has traveled all the way from elena's fortune just to pound the ships from my complex. I have not been in elena's fortune for a long time and i dont think any of my ships from the complex have been there either, i have cheched all my ships for illegal wares and i dont have any.

The real problem is i can jump to the sector and report to the colossus that weapons fire was in error and the colossus turns blue and recovers his fighters only to turn red the moment he has finished recovering the last fighter sometimes it will let me appologise again but the colossus keeps turning red and attacking me the fighters are always blue unless i attack the colossus, i dont have anything to destroy a fully armed and loaded colossus he is not interested in following me only hovering round my complex and attacking all of my ships that fly through the sector.

Is there any fix for this or will i need a script to either reset the friend or foe on the colossus or to remove it completely?

I have the boarding script by cycrow installed.

Any help would be greatly apreaciated thanks craig.

Well, the important question here is: what is your complex producing? If it's illegal goods like Spacefuel then this is normal behaviour--miitary patrols who happen to go through the sector will attempt to destroy the complex, and because they turn hostile to you in order to do that, they'll probably target your ships as well. He'll only turn blue again once he's destroyed the complex.

[EDIT] Oh, and the thing saying where the ship is based doesn't mean much--I just ran into an Argon Military Cerberus in Bluish Snout which claimed to be homebased at the Military Outpost in Elena's Fortune...

The factory is not producing illegal goods the goods are microchips, computer components, crystals, meatsteaks, argnu, firestorms and advanced satellites. the ship doesn't attack my factory just my ships and me, the ships have no illegal goods on them. i wasn't even in the sector when the colossus went red and attacked i just got a message saying my ship had been destroyed the first time it happened.

if u dont care about an unmodified game, then download the cheat scripts and destroy the bully via shortkey

If you can get him to chase you...lead him towards a planet and watch as the AI plumets through the atmosphere, just don't get too close yourself as the handling does seem to get a bit sketchy when you fly through the upper layers.

Or a even better idea: If you have the credits go to a nearby shipyard and hire a mamoth and buy a cheap station. After that go to the sector where the colossus is, and build the station on top of it. I never tried it in terran conflict but it worked in Reuinion when a Khaak destroyer and a xenon K decided to have a showdown near one of my factories

(khaak won and it started shooting at my factory)

P.S: If you already have a mamoth to spare you can just throw it against the colossus.
