[beta] Stealing from the Crimson Fleet

[Melfice]

I got attacked by a Crimson Fleet ship, and decided to board it.
Y'know. Catharsis.

But looting the ship is now stealing?
They're pirates!

I expect it's a bug. But it's funny.

Oh, really?

Hah! One I haven't run into yet. Interesting! I thought it was a newly introduced bug with the beta!

Thanks for the reply!

It is considered stealing probably because everything they own is already stolen.

Is it theft if the goods had already been stolen?

I consider it "liberation of stolen property with return to previous owners unlikely if not outright impossible".
Which is quite a mouthful, to be sure. But a very accurate description.

commandeering of goods 😉

The hand towels are DNA encoded in this game. You stole the hotel soap 36 light years away. Your under arrest!

That's why it's a Beta patch. This is for testing purposes before the official/full release of the patch. If you see an issue report it.

I do not think it is a bug. The CF is a faction and can have a bounty against you, and likely stealing their stuff counts toward this, by design and intent. Its doofy when you are not friendly with them, but its there because you could be.

But, in favor of it being a bug, does the same thing happens on spacer ships? That would indicate its really not supposed to be like that. I don't know: I don't loot the ships, I just steal them. Only thing on them usually is contraband that I don't want to deal with or a wilby I don't have yet.

Have done!
Thank you for the suggestion, though. (Genuinely!)

Just sharing it here as well.

I intend to find out if it does happen there as well!

The pirates consider their ill-gotten gains to be "theirs", thus they consider you to be stealing from them. Or you're actually a member of the Crimson Fleet and don't even know it.
