Razorleaf - Do Pirates always run?
I'm planning to build a complete new ship using my Razorleaf, which I didn't use at all yet as base.

Question is, do pirates always run from the Razorleaf or is that just a rare random encounter? Because I want to actually fight and destroy pirates with said ship.

What's your experience with the Razorleaf in this regard?

Thanks.

Mantis mission. Razorleaf is the Mantis ship and you get it at the end of that mission.
Damn lol, I always skipped that quest because I thought it was just another one of those random one-off gofer missions on account of not having a special log icon.

While we're at it: As muany of the quests and foes adapt to your level,... ...does the Mantis armor set get upped when and if you do it NG+???

Indeed. I only knew to read the "secret base" slate because I read about it online. It would be nice to know which of these dozens of logged activities are mere fetch quests and which ones turn into real missions like The Mantis. Some kind of "special mission" indicator.

No, I'm on my 2nd NG and the armor has become less useful.

Doesn't matter if you've changed everything. As soon as you registered it, the SFID transponder was entered in the GFS database as the Razorleaf, which is what the other ships see on their screens.

It doesn't matter how upped it gets. I'd never be caught dead in that awful looking romper.

I knew it was something like that. But its nonintuitive to realize that SFID isn't attached to any ship module.

I've wanted to switch out of that goofy ensemble for so long, but that "mechanized" trait is SO freaking rare I've only found one other suit that has it.

Lol. I agree. It looks aweful. Plus, while it may be a good suit set at the low levels, it can quickly be less so when you can get better sets later. The Jet pack is the best of the set.

I don't even like the ship. It's the cockpit mainly which turns me off. When I upgrade, the cockpit is swapped out.

Spacers try to run from me all the time when I'm flying the Razorleaf. I just mow'em down anyway with the particle beams + 6x Hellfire Autocannons. Either way it's just kicking puppies.

I have had just as many engage me for a trophy as I have seen run at this point, so no.

Pirate ships run away? I have not seen that happen yet.

What I have seen happen is there is one encounter with 3 spacers and a merchant ship. One Spacer attacks you, the other tow assist. Kill the one Spacer and they turn blue. I would assume the two blue ones are the escort to the frieghter.

In fact there is even that one Spacer that tries intimidating the Razorleaf.

No problem, I have other ships. I'm just trying to find a use for my Razorleaf, but if pirates always flee, this makes it pretty useless as base for a combat ship. The feature would be cool, if it happened occasionally, like 10% of the time, but not if they always run.

Funnily this makes the most feared combat ship the perfect basis for a ship you don't want to do combat in. :steamfacepalm:
If they run or not does kinda depend on the situation. Most story or mission based still stick around to fight. The running away ones are really more of the "random encounter" types. How many you get is also pretty much random.
The ones around the Key will also stay, taunt and fight.

It happened to me several times when I first got the Razorleaf and was flying it around. But not all the time and I think it is random when it does.
