Well yesterday, out-of-nowhere, someone tried to shoot me from their ship while I was taking a leisurely night stroll along the beach, far away from everyone else. That would have been a tad annoying had I not remembered to turn off player damage (which is usually my case when starting new saves).
Heh, I initially thought it was the latest incarnation of that ghostly pink flame bug - now manifesting as a cacophony of bright blue explosions… then I noticed the large hauler hovering above me.
