Terrorist Mission

WARNING TO SERCO PLAYERS:
DO NOT TAKE THE TERRORIST MISSION!

So I took the mission and popped out of the station to kick some terrorist tailfins. I identify a non-bomber, shoot and miss and the sector guards scream at me over the comm not to violate the no-fire zone. Oh, I'm sorry, I thought they were terrorists. Not paying much heed, being that I had +959 Serco reputation, I continued firing at them. I hit maybe three times before the five swarming vults took me down. I go to rebuy and I can't, because my Serco reputation is now -600, and the government now sends hit-squads that (thank God) can't hurt me. Either this mission should send you to an empty sector, or they should hand you a license to kill when you get the mission.

Oh, and can you please fix my Serco reputation? I worked a long, long time to get it where it is, and it'd suck to have it ruined by a glitch. Danke.

The no-fire reputation hit is temporary. Or it's supposed to be. If you log out and in again it should return to its previous value, or if you warp somewhere it should too. But maybe that didn't work.

But yes, the mission _is_ supposed to send you to empty space but it isn't done yet.

Ah, okay. I'll check that.

Okay, it fixes itself when you leave the sector. Thanks a1k0n!

Another thing I noticed with the terrorist mission, if you dock before you kill the required number of terrorist bots, you still successfully complete the mission. I had 2 left to go when I docked, and it completed the mission. When I undocked, the terrorist bots I hadn't killed were still there, just flying around aimlessly.

also note, that if all the bots are there, and somebody else kills a few, the mission takes them as your kills (you dont get the exp for killing them but it will complete the list)

The NPCbot didn't do any damage to me when they shot me. It was nice to see that they had tachs instead of frigate guns though.

I would still be careful when taking this mission at the moment. Spellcast and I both had taken this mission. I had scanned a bot, gotten the green light to kill it and BOOM!!. The whole sector lit up like the 4th of July. Spellcast swears he didn't fire on any bots. I checked my mission logs and I did have the go ahead to kill the bot I fired on. Only thing Spell and I figure is the either one of the two bombers wandered into my flight path or the game couldn't keep track of who had the bomb with more than one present.
