Police refuse to fight

Observed behaviour

Police don't fight you after breaking a law; they simply follow you around for a while.

Expected behaviour

The police start attacking you after a broken law.

Have you tried getting < 10 Km of them? Sometimes a combat mission has multiple ship at the target and it won't complete unless I get close to some (then they attack me then I kill them).

[hermonochy]

Yes. I am usually within at least 5 km of the police. The police fight back on a few planets, but more often not.

Sounds like they're not equipped with weapons? I think you can inspect the ships by selecting them and pulling up the debug window, Ctrl+i, if you see this happening again.

[hermonochy]

Yes. I have inspected the police on both Cydonia and System Administration Resting and they don't seem to be armed.

Their equipment consists of:

• A Laser cooling booster
• A radar
• default thrusters
• Atmospheric Shielding
• Autopilot
• but no weapon
