Killer Freighter

Maybe it's projecting a holo-ghost. Try looking for some space shimmer nearby or some form of tachyon wake

I had it happen to me - the collision hull isn't there.

I found the pods could still be hit though (my ghost was a SNRV) so they still had collision hulls.

No fix as far as I can tell - try to dodge the ldsi or just load from your previous save (probobly the quickest way).

Hi,
I had the same prob, and I really wanted that cargo. I did a certain amount of damage to this nosey freighter, then nothing. Bit spooky...
Anyway, how I got out of it was, turn down power,turn off actives, no thrust/guns etc, sit it out. He went and came back a few times for a sniffbut couldn't quite find me, soon got bored and left.
phew and yippee

Very interesting. Is there a specific place this happens with a specific ship or is it all random?

I've also had this happen to me. It does appear to be random.

Just install the "cheat code" and blow that sucker up. I alwasy have ctrl+alt+i and x ready for those "just in cases"...
