Whilst I was in transit through a star gate I was targetted by another ship.
There were no problems as I warped away before he could get a lock.
Is this considered to be a hostile action, or is just being nosy something you are allowed to do? I think that they were scanning my cargo but I am not sure. |

A flashy yellow square around a ship indicates that he HAS locked you, not that he is in the process of locking you - which is a common misconception. Red square means he is in the process of performing an aggressive action on you - web, scram, TD, ECM or just shot at you.
Most likely he was doing it to scan your cargo. Oxide Nation - Minmatar FW - Low Sec PvP - Euro TZ - New Player Friendly Contact: Major Trant In game channel: FeO Public Recruitment thread: Oxide Nation |

Targeting you is not considered a hostile action. It's quite possible you were being cargo scanned (cargo scanning isn't a hostile action either). |

Thanks,
i wasn't sure what they were up to. Luckily I only had some low-value stuff on board. so no-one chased or ganked me.

A friendly reason to target you would be to run a remote repair on you. Another would be to web align you. Webbing slows you down, since your align time is based off your top speed, you effectively align faster. This can be a big deal going through hostile territory with a larger ship, or even in high sec with a cargo expensive enough to tempt a suicide ganking pirate corp.

Note that webbing, no matter the purpose, *is* classified as a hostile action and will result in CONCORD response in highsec unless proper precautions are taken. |

It might also have been a misclick.
Most dedicated cargo scanners also have a "Passive Targeter" module that allows them to secretly target you - i.e. you will never know that you had been targeted and scanned. |
