Strike Forces

Today, a Serco player killed an Itani player and a CtC transport in no-fire space. He was ignored by the strike forces. This is a bug, ayuh?

Strike forces are behaving really weird. One UIT strike force attacked me in Sol II immediately after a duel. (actually, they've occasionally done this for weeks...) Also, when I go into UIT space through Arta Caelestis, no Strike Force follows me. :?

You know the NFZ is not the entire sector right roguelazer? just 1500m round the station, and yes, before i fixed my UIT standing i also had the same issue Solra did, At first, i was swarmed with seekers getting into UIT space, but after a while, the only thing that would attack me were the station gaurds (which may be able to blat many a player, but not very hard to kill/evade...)...

...Hmm, i did report this about 3 weeks ago, and cannot confirm its still an issue, as I fixed my UIT standing (again)

This happened right next to the station. I know mainly because I got a no-fire warning when trying to return fire, and I was farther away from the station than him. Something like this:

Then maybe you were both outside the NFZ, but since the station was at his back, your shots crossed the invisible boundry and triggered the NFZ violation? It could be that the check for fire in the NFZ and the check to see if you hit someone aren't quite lined up as they ought to be- i.e. the player hit is outside the NFZ, but shots traveled through some portion of the NFZ on the way (or past the player- misses), tagging them as inside-NFZ and that you had hit a player.

That serco was either lucky, or had figured out one heck of a way to cheese the NFZ rules if this is what happened.
