The Den is attacking me!

[AlanHawk]

I captured a pirate ship, I go to the den because it's not registered and if you don't register it everyone else will shoot you on site. But even after I register it, and change ships, if I go into the den to get to the trade authority everyone starts shooting and my companion leaves me because of my ethics even before I return fire. Any ideas why they are attacking me?

Sounds weird.
I've captured tons of pirates and have had no issues.
Maybe it's something else.

Also, at least for me, I can both make a captured ship my home ship, and register it while in space.
But that may be due to bugs.

Try loading a save from just before you captured the ship, and go to The Den and see if they were mad before.

Which companion is it?
Maybe they have an issue with you hunting pirates.

I'm pretty sure I know what happened, so I'm going to test it out now. I took the ship directly to new atlantis and they started shooting after scanning me. I think they branded me as a pirate because she ship wasn't registered to me. so when I took it to the den to register it, I was alreday marked as a pirate.

[AlanHawk]

well I wasn't able to test it really because the pirate ship I boarded after destroying the others is a class I can't fly yet. But before that I got attacked by ecliptic and took one of their ships and was able to register it while still on my ship and make it my home ship then sell it. So at least it works with mercenary ships.

maybe had some Contraban on the pirate ship after you robed the robbers, pirates are know to carry such things :)

You must have have contraband. If you carry it into a place or bypass checks, you will get shot at. Contraband is flagged with a yellow box with an arrow. Stolen items are marked with a red box. with an arrow.

Pirate ships usually have contraband on them. If its not in the hold look around for a briefcase.

[AlanHawk]

I figured at first that was what was wrong but nope, the ship didn't have any contraband on it and I didn't pick any up by accident.

[Marvin Dusty]

same thing happened to me earlier; reloaded after I got vaporized and found stolen artwork on the ship

[AlanHawk]

no, I searched the ship meticulously. and besides, they didn't say they found contraband, they said "all UC ships, we have a hostile in orbit, all ships open fire" or something very much like that.

So I fixed this issue by actually hailing the station prior to docking.

Edit: Just kidding I walked to the vendor and they clapped me......

[Brandingus67]

Having the same issue. Went to the Den before specifically to sell contraband with no issue. Went again and everyone attacked and my companion became angry and left. Hailed before docking.

Fixed by clearing UC bounty. Turns out they attack on sight.

i had this exact problem too. Check map of System if you got bounty on your head. I somehow had 1179 credit bounty on my head and when i cleared it everything was fine.
