I’ve noticed there are 2 pirate events that I warp into:

1. The one where you need to kill off 7-8 pirates ships & the captain of the freighter invites you aboard after you’ve killed them where you can purchase the freighter.
2. The one where you need to destroy the freighter (trench run).

​

It’s the second event that is not clear. When I destroy the Pirate freighter, I do NOT get invited to the civilian freighter I just saved but I can go land on it and purchase it anyway. And while I’m on it…the civilian freighter starts getting attacked again by a single fighter.

Then I get messages that I need to get under the shields to kill the Dreadnought…

…but I just destroyed it?? Also, if I kill that single fighter – apparently it is a trader so Sentinel ships come after me.

Can someone pls explain this second event?

Status: It seems this particular pirate event is bugged by not ending properly. A workaround (I haven’t tried this yet) is to kill some of the frigates that want to join your fleet after you destroy the Dreadnought. Ty, everyone!
