Pirate Hijacking Squads

[Rostin]

Is it common for pirate squads that join up with hijacking missions to overpower the person doing the mission? I picked up a mission for ALH 53262 B1 and when I got there and talked to the crew to begin it put the odds at about 1:100. Did someone else have a COM mission at that location? Because I didn't see anyone else in orbit besides me and the hijackers but there was a pretty big discrepancy between my power and the power of the pirates...

I should note that there were two actual hijacked ships; does that mean that there was another COM in orbit as well?

[sargas]

did you check to see what's in orbit with you before talking to cargo?

it sounds as if you stumbled onto another hijacking mission that was already in progress.

2 hijacked ships usually means 2 different missions.

Ok, thanks, that's kind of what I thought. I ALWAYS forget to check before hand.. Oh well, I hope whoever's it was comes back so I can finish eventually. lol

Rostin: It is a good habit to always check if someone is already doing a COM attack mission before starting a new one. I always do it. Due to your small size it is not a big deal for us big players but you will grow and it may become a problem (it could be a problem for a smaller player). Here at EOS, it is part of our NAP and not checking beforehand is consider an act of war.

Ok, thanks for letting me know I've got a couple other bad habits I'm trying to break to. Biggest one is jumping before I collect my reward.. XD

[sargas]

lol I hate having to 'back-up' like that...

[raphael]

Find out who's doing it to you Rostin coz I'll do something about it.

Rostin: you are not the only one to forget to collect from time to time

That depends on the player you signed the NAP with.  Sargas tried to get me to agree with me.  I didn't agree to that part since it is always possible that such a thing might accidentally happen.  I don't consider it an act of war to leave one there. But I do admit it is a bit rude.  I usually don't drop off them like that.

Yeah lisunken and I got our coms tangled like that a few times lol. I still forget to check sometimes.

Another thing to remember not to do- accept multiple coms on the same planet, then activate them both. I mean you can do it that way if you like a 'mexican stand-off' but it's not as fun as it sounds One of our former members did that before leaving lol.

When I have more than 1 COM at the same location I always do those together. It give more profit for a not so different timer. I presently have a battle against 20 ennemy ships. Sure I can modulate my power, my ships have 16 mil att and 14 mil def. And I have spare shields at earth that I can send via a Scout where needed.

[JoolzVern]

Yes but you're the man Mata lol. For those of us that don't have another ship in the area etc. you can have a pretty hard time fighting two coms at once. As rookie mistakes go I think it's one of those that can be pretty aggravating.

If thats the case EOS just made an act of war against me lol.
