In RC3 Arco will come after you if enough reinforcements to the Raisu get killed. This causes a problem in that the player doesn't need to be the one killing the reinforcements. Arco can come after you even if you never harm a raider. This can also be before the player is ready for him. (killing the stations to get the mission)
Crying is not a proper retort!

all compounded by the bug that causes raisu to still have normal friendly ships even before arco is killed...

....compounded even more by the fact that centauri raiders are still pathetically weak, and so have no hope of either killing the friendlies, or surviving the laser and kinetic shots that are lazily fired at them. Fortunately on the playthrough that I first noticed that damned bug, I managed to get some decent armor and get the "Kill Arco" mission (and those life-saving KM500s) before he came after me. In 0.99c, Arco sometimes came after the playership, and in my case usually managed to blow me up....and while the buffed armor may help, that guy has still got REALLY good firepower....Wolfy wrote:all compounded by the bug that causes raisu to still have normal friendly ships even before arco is killed...

Good catch, all of you.
For RC4 I've made the following changes:
1. Friendly ships don't visit Raisu until Arco is dead
2. Raisu gives you more hints about destroying Centauri stations
3. If you destroy enough of the raiders around Raisu, then the Arco mission gets unlocked also (and if you keep destroying raiders without taking the Arco mission, then eventually Arco comes after you).
