Blue on Blue?

Hi,

I'm right now mining in the Olympus system and saw a way bigger ship than mine, so I figured I would take a look.

When I got close I could see a little fighter attacking the big ship but they seemed to be on the same side or ?

I have bigger resolution shots of the above and a save game if its needed (not that I know where they are kept)

Is there some kind of encyclopedia describing the different ships anywhere?

both ships appear as different colour to you, which partly indicates they both have differing attitudes.

whilst you may get 2 ships of the same faction, there may be may reasons for them fighting, it could be some sort of personal grudge, the factions are in some cases more sort of loose colalitions than tightly knit organisations, even navies for some systems - well they hire a lot of mercenaries don't they.

I'd be very very surprised if you saw this sort of thing in a conflict zone though........

It's supposed to be like that. The coloring is based on personal hostility. While both ships can be green to you, they can be red to eachother. Besides that, what verbosity says is true.

Great, and thanks for the clarification.

Just wondering why that big ship don't return fire

Wish granted

Talison warzone. Upon returning to the carrier, a couple of red navy were waiting for me. I figured they were upset because of some sort of FF incident I didn't notice. Ignored them for the time being and left on another mission. When returning, they were still there. Fighting some green navy.
Of course, they were actually ignoring the green guys and focusing on me, the most important pilot in the galaxy. Hmm, that's how the Vonari were fighting too - they must've been Vonari spies in disguise, surely.
I blasted them away, but more came. Such is life.

lol glad to see im not the only "red magnet" in the galaxy. dont blast them too vigorously, or youll find that the once green navy is now red to you, too... for whatever sense that makes... evidently self defense isnt a good enough reason for blasting a faction...
