First Pirate meeting in Pre-Warp start
Posted: Thu Jun 19, 2014 8:07 pm
I have just observed odd behaviour in my Pre-Warp start (Custom game Standard Empire) when the first pirate appears (DWU 1.9.5.2).
Knowing that the price for protection is higher once under attack, as soon as I got the message new pirate contact, before they started attacking my new base, I made diplomatic contact and agreed a protection agreement (~200 credit from memory). Protection was accepted (protection for 6 month pop-up).
A few seconds later I got the 'You are being attacked' message and the 'first' pirate warning asking for protection (~350 credits).
A bit grumpily I accepted their new offer of protection, but the dialogue then popped saying that I already had a protection agreement for 6 months ..... whereupon the Pirate Escort annihilated my unprotected space port and raided the planet.
.. Double grump ..
Cracking game though.
