    I found some floating ship in the sky so I checked it out but I accidentally attacked an NPC and now they are aggressive! Is there any way to prevent them from attacking me like a cooldown timer for them to turn passive again?

    Thanks

    Never happened to me but it has to many, if they do not become passive again, you could reset the planet by deleting the planet file for this planet in the universe folder of the game

    Also make sure you have no weapon in hand when you greet them, A LOT of NPC's go aggressive if you are armed.

    In my experience, avian pirates don't react differently whether you have weapons or not. I like to not have weapons equipped when I go there so I don't hit them accidentally.

    Avian airship crew lose aggressiveness fairly quick when your not in their LoS, so you should be safe to return.

    When this happened to me (pre-Angry), I couldn't return without the one guard I'd hit staying aggressive toward me. The rest of the NPCs acted as usual until that one guard saw me, and then they all turned. I went as far as drawing that guard off the ship and down to the surface so I could kill him and return to the ship, but in trying to do that I ended up hitting more of them and had to wipe the buggers out. One thing you could try is walling in individual NPCs to separate the angry one(s) from the others; just don't attack them whilst near the rest.

    You CAN come back, but you need to leave quickly so that you don't accidentally kill the gun merchant! Just jump, cave story style, and come back after a minute. Don't have a gun/sword/gunsword in your hand and you'll be great.

    Just leave the premises of the ship for a while, to dig up fuel or whatever, or beam to your ship for half a minute or somesuch (so that the planet gets "unloaded", that'll ensure reset of anger state pretty much).
