Debt during a Rikti Invasion?

[Large Man]

So unless I'm not understanding it correctly, and/or unless the information from that Debt Protection power you get when an Invasion starts is incorrect, you're supposed to not gain XP debt when killed outdoors during a Rikti invasion, correct? Because I somehow gained normal XP debt after being gunned down by a stray Rikti Ship, while the person I was teamed with was killed by mobs twice and gained none. (and no, he didn't have any Patrol XP). I was exemplared down by about 2-3 levels if it matters.

I think the 'no debt' only applies to being defeated by the various Rikti mobs that teleport in; you're SoL if you let yourself get whacked by a dropship. But I agree that it shouldn't work that way; 'no debt' should apply to being defeated by any Rikti agent. Makes me wonder if the dropships aren't classified as belonging to the 'Rikti' group somewhere deep inside the database.

I'm not sure that's it. When I said that the person who I was playing with was "killed by mobs", I meant normal mobs. Luddites, specifically. We didn't even see any Rikti mobs other than bombs until that one dropship got me.
