SW3 early certain death pirate attack

[revenos]

eh.. not exactly. I'm in the heavy transporter, they aren't asking for money, no dialog, no "death cut-scene", Argon itself is completely safe. They just openly attack me as soon as I arrive at a different system, however due to their sheer firepower the game immediately pauses from my mother-ship's health dropping below 50%, then 20%, then well... boom, all within less than a single second, far too little time to turn around and run back through the gate.

I didn't think that it would help but I when back to the last autosave, and it looks like the pirate blockade isn't around anymore, maybe its somehow related to lingering around too long before completing the mission? But it still looks like some kind of game bug, I don't know...

Funny thing, I didn't think this game had autosaves, maybe because I died half a dozen times before it ever made one for me...
