Campaign 1: Okay, what gives? {SPOIL}
 

Okay, I'm on the mission where you're asked to help out the Zealot starbase. I'm mostly having an easy time, especially since the starbase seems to be blowing up anything and everything that comes near.

I just finish off a Mongol pirate fighter, and the bloody starbase decides to light me up. One salvo later, I'm toasted.

What gives? I'm an ally, since when do you kill your allies?

I couldn't have hit them, I was facing the other way. Maybe they hit themselves or something.

No, no cheese, thanks.

Was that the Last Mongol in the system you destroyed? Zealot Starbase only remains friends with you for the duration of the mission.

When I was playing in my mod, the basse turned out to be much too powerful, and killed off all of the enemies before I could arrive. It didn't attack me after that.

The second time, I'd added more enemies, reduced the weapons and shields on the base. After a long, drawn out battle, the enemy fighters and destroyers were toast, with just cruisers left (who's shields were too tough for the base to pierce).
Hiding behind the base while the two forces duked in out to a stalemate, the mission timer ran out to a success. (The base was still fully functional, as required)
I wasn't attacked by the base then either...

Did you scoop up some contraband by accident? Or (and I don't rememebr for sure) did you kill the satellites near the warppoint?

Re: Campaign 1: Okay, what gives? {SPOIL}
 

Yeah, I killed the satellites. On my second playthrough I left them alone and the station ignored me.

Just a note, guys, the satellites are considered part of Zealot station, so just run from them.
