Lave Radio ship
Lave Radio is also an in-game Sidewinder located near the planet Lave in the Lave system. Players approaching the Sidewinder will hear a Lave Radio broadcast: "An orange sidewinder, hosted by a vending machine technician."
Shooting the ship will provoke the transmission: "All you'll hear is Radio Boom Boom! Radio Pew Pew! Radio it's true. Lave Radio just shot you." The attacker will be tagged with a bounty and system security will be alerted.[2]
