I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to post this, but I didn't see any other more suitable forums.
I read the patch notes "...Random dialogs popping up were quite the nuisance, we've improved this behavoir and added a hailing system where players can decide to answer calls or just reject them - with consequences though."
Last night, when I was playing, I was involved in a fight. I destroyed the first enemy (Xstostan I think) ship and moved to engage the second and immediately started to take heavy damage and tried to move away, but then a popup message from someone ("Hunter", I think) blocked my screen, and I frantically tried to dismiss the window, so I didn't read anything on it, but my ship had been destroyed. Luckily I had already finished mining enough titanium to build a different ship and was able to make it back to the sector and pick up my loot.
I was playing in a multiplayer game that a friend was hosting on their machine and used Steam Invite to connect me, So I don't have access to server details.
