Neutral Aggression - PvP2

[Elric]

 

The very first aggression entry.  How can you have Neutral aggression against Kidd's?  It must be a pirate hack....

hehe, I'm sure it's not a pirate hack.

@Ink should be able to shed some light on it, let's see what he has to say.

I'm not sure but the only logical thing I can think of is someone initiated a mission in kidds, entered it, and for some reason failed. (Pirate's mission consist of 'neutrals', ships with white flags), so the neutral NPCS generated hostility by sinking pirate ships in that mission.
may be totally wrong though.

the pirates can vote for war against a nation - and if aggression carried over from yesterday AND the voting changed from war to enemy it might cause it.

This use to be how it was when we did missions, but now what it does is pick a random nation and that is who is in our mission so if you see some random spain, french or dane pop up at kidds it's some one slinging a ship the old school way of doing a mission with a cutter and than escaping to leave the fight and than sling your ship.   As for the neutral I seen it a few other times on the map.  I think it's when you do the same but you use a contraband goods ship which makes it a pirate and since pirate can't put agro on pirate it makes it neutral, but I can  be wrong on this too.  Cause I seen it in Spain area before too.

The only thing our war vote does is we can't enter battles that that nation is in.  Say we are at war with US (all ways are) and you get in a fight with US.  We can only pick the french side to join.  Now you get in a fight with some Spanish guy and we aren't at war with them we can pick if we want to join Spain or French side.  Though as of recent patches it changed for pirates, now every one is at war with pirates so no one can join our battles to help us.  Danes use to be able to join our fights before alliance patch came out.

I did a 152 mission and got a neutral AI.  So some maybe it's still neutral with no agro (since every one else gets pIrate by default) or could of swear it was random nation, but many it throws the neutral nation (white flag) in there randomly too.

im sure you could test, start a rear admiral fleet and if the ai on neutral team kills the pirate ai would create neutral hostility. would be fun test spam out as pirate missions and get neutral its first pb.

I so could of just do that.  Though I really just couldn't see doing anything on the servers tonight.  No one is in our team speak and this is our clans peak time.  Only 43 where on PvP2.  PvP1 was 30 something and PvE 20 something....I think I'm going to go play some other game...oh and testbed had 3 guys.    Other wise I would prob just goof off and do that, get neutral it's own port battle.

Ink was online in NA last night for ages....

 

....it wasn't me testing either.

Neutral hostility caused by Pirate fleet orders with neutral flag ships.

Fix to prevent rise of hostility points due to failed mission will be implemented in one of the next patches.

I did fail a mission to confrim, just thought we didn't get neutral any more when there was no agro.  Guess they are still in the rotation of random nation with no agro precents.  We should of tried to flip it to see if we can have  neutral port battle lol
