I was cruising a .4, all alone in system when a new person shows up in local. I hit the scanner and see he is in a Rifter. Not wanting to get my Thorax blown up (I am a new player and he had been playing for over a year) I head for a jumpgate and wait near it. He happens to warp to it as well and I sit there thinking he won't attack due to the guns.
I was wrong, he targets me and starts firing, so I let loost the drones and start shooting as well. Either the sentry guns couldn't hit the fast frigate, or they simply didn't consider him to have broken the law, I'm not sure. I'm not complaining (though I did get owned lol!) but can anyone explain why the guns didn't attack him? Thank you.

Im guessing he only locked you but you thought he started shooting aswell. Once you open up on him he's free to shoot back. Lost count over how many times I have locked people and they aggro me for being outlaw.
Either that or you were in 0.0 and didnt realise it. _______________________________

0.0, just started. And I was in Carrou, a .4. I warped to the gate to the next systen and ws 68km from one gun. I did lock him back, but I didn't fire until I saw the message one of his missles had hit me. Had no agression countdown, and he wasn't flashing red.

Gate guns fire away preety much instantly at me, so ;P
What is very likely is that the OP either did accidentally activate a offensive mod when the Rifter locked him, or that he actually stole from a wreck/something belonging to the Rifter pilot, which would give the Rifter kill rights.
At any rate, losing a Thorax to a Rifter is just funny

Wait a minute - what you're saying is if someone has say +8 standings with the Caldari Navy. Then they are allowed to open fire at anyone around a Caldari Navy station in low sec and the station's sentry guns won't fire on you?!
Hmmmm that could open up some possibilities... ______________________________________________ Sup brosef! Destry's Lounge is looking for a few good drunks - contact me in game. |

Don't those sentry guns have a small range, like 15 or 30km? If you were 68km from the guns, maybe that's why. ------------------- 4 8 15 16 23 42 108 |

Sentry guns have arange of upto 250km. (They hit you if you are within 150KM of the station/gate they are protecting, irrespectable of distance from the sentries.)
I'm going for the "You probobly stole from his can and got flagged too him" reason. -

Yeah you must have looted one of his wrecks or something like that. Low sec gate guns have no problem firing as soon as something happens that warrants it. A Rifter would have lasted about 2 seconds against those guns. ------------- CEO: Me VP: Myself Janitor: I |
