T-31 transports

[IceMephit]

Was just wondering - One out every 20 or so T31's (and their escorts) spawned are red, the other times they are green. Any idea why?

I know it has nothing to do with killing them, cause green ones still spawn even after killing a lot of greens and a few reds.

I think a couple of them are from the black market and the others were either hired or captured by the enemy to deliver direct supplies to each other

Am I the only one who has not seen color on the T-31? I'm going to have to take a look this time around.

I think it might have to do with what station they were spawned at. They trade with both friendlies and enemies, so it's probably just a programing hiccup.

I thought it just meant that they where owned by different factions.

I think the green T-31 transports are spawned docked to BM station, shipyards, and tempus labs, and also by an encounter that spawns them with Zulu escorts and has them cycle between friendly stations for a while before exiting a stargate.

The red transports are spawned docked to outlaw stations.

The encounter spawned transports are the only ones to cycle through stations, and they don't actually do any trading, they just dock and undock. All the other transports just sit there, and gate away when the station is attacked.

Bang goes my theory. Maybe i should shut up from now on and let the experts do the talking.

You are kidding, right?

All T31's are steel-gray. I mean green/red on the LRS. The circle in the upper right-hand corner of the screen.

Good guys and bad guys, period.

Some are spawned by an outlaw encounter, marked with the Independent Trader sovereign. These are your green convoys.

The enemy t31 convoys are spawned by the outlaw bases and marked as outlaw sovereign.

Basically, the same setup but spawned from different stations and if a station creates a ship, it inherits the sovereign of the station.

The red ones also have some bugs, because commonwealth stations destroy them as they try to come in and dock.

[Wurmish]

If the red ones are Outlaw sovereign, isn't that a good reason for the Commonwealth to shoot them?
Now if the Outlaw ones actually try to dock, then that might be a small bug.

[Drako Slyith]

That's what I meant. They try to dock and as a consequence get blasted out of space.

That would be a bug, perhaps you should post that on trac.
