Pilot Archive

Hey everyone

I know that the permavert status on the ships that a Freelance pilot has taken to DS bug has been well documented, but I thought I would add something that I have not yet seen posted about it.

I started my pilot career Smugglers' Alliance, and got my Actis as I hit tier 4. After I mastered, I took it (and every other freelance ship I own) into DS. Not too long ago, I mastered Storm Squadron, and I just recently mastered Vortex. The only 2 ships I left in my datapad were my Actis and my YT as I was going through the Imp and Rebel squads. End of background...

I am just getting ready to go back to Freelance (where I will most likely stay), and I deeded all of my Rebel ships in preparation for the change. Once again, my Actis and YT remain in my datapad. I decided to take a peek into DS as a Rebel, just to get that experience before I come back as Freelance on the Rebel side. My only option being my Actis, I launched and headed to Dantooine. The station allows me access to DS, and this is where it starts getting weird. The first thing I notice upon entering DS is that the Rebel station is aggressive. Thankfully, it does not seem to be online because of its invulnerablility bug, so I did not get vaped right away. I also notice that the Imp ships are blue, but I head over to a pair of Decimators just to see what happens. I get the *can't shoot this target* beep when I try to engage them. Flying out a bit, I see some Rebel ships, which are aggro, and do attack me when I get in range. I proceed to kill them, and gain Rebel prestige in doing so.

Here is the point of my post: I did not run into any players while in DS to test the possible PvP implications, but here is what I can see as possible outcomes.

1) Even though I load into DS as a Rebel, in my Actis I am really Imperial. I can't shoot Imp players, and they can't shoot me. Business as usual, with a bit if weirdness.

2) Or...scenario listed above, but I can attack Rebel players, but they can't attack me.

I do not have an exploitatve mind, but I am sure this bug can be exploited, at least in a PvP fashion, and I have not seen this bug's implications posted out to this degree. I have redeeded my Actis, which should cancel the bug for me (and any PvP exploit I could possibly have done), but I just wanted to throw this out there, and see if anyone knows the final answer to possiblility number 2.

If this is the case, it needs to become a high-priority fix.

Thanks for any input
