I was escorting a frieghter for korolov and during that escort, the frieghter and I shot at corsairs. Seconds later a zulu escorting a T31 came after us (just the zulu, the T31 went on its merry way). at first i thought i had hit it or the transport and it was coming after me, but no, it all but ignored me and went after the frieghter, and the frieghter did not fire back. The zulu was green as well as its transport. Has this happened to anyone else? It has never happened to me before. I am running RC2.

THANX

well, it seems that the freighter hit the zulu and it got mad and started shooting back.

I think that a bit more serious problem here is the freighter not shooting back.

The funny thing is the frieghter shot at other threats and not that one, ecspecially since it was being fired upon exclusively. Could it be that the zulu was not identified as a threat because it is a "friendly"?

Quite probably.

I was looking at the xml for the freighters.
The only oddity is that the Antares V has 2 secondary weapons but no primary.

I then used the GOD mod to spawn 1 of each freighter and set them as autons to myself.
They all behaved normally and used their weapons as expected.
could it be an issue with (shpOrder .. 'Dock ...)?

2 secondaries? I thought it had 3 or 5 weapons total...
