I just started doing assignments on my account and thought they were pretty fun, mainly doing alpha 1 transport assignments. In the end I realized they didn't really need a big cargo hold so I got a cameleon MK2 with a T4 lightweight frame to zoom around. Big mistake. On one of my transport missions 3 hostile bots who pretty much instantly killed me spawned, and I lost roughly 10M in gear, not the biggest loss but for a rather new player steep enough. I was under the impression there were no hostile enemies on alpha 1 islands but I guess I was wrong. So my question is: Are any of the missions safe? Or should they all be done in combat drones?

I'd hate to have that happen in a scarab.
