An incomprehensible change in the ships of the authorities

[Meresiga]

Often a strange situation happens. I fly into the zone the place of production - High. Suddenly I see that the ships of the authorities of the system turned red (as if they were my enemies). In the Transactions section - there are no penalties issued to me. There is also no illegal cargo in the hold. Only drone pickers. But I can see on the screen that my ship's shields are being fired on. My battle lasers - stand still and do not fire. They are configured to conduct automatic fire on enemies. But in this situation – the ship does not open fire, however at the same time, the red ships of powers system somehow are on my fire. I have to leave from this place. After returning to the same place-everything becomes normal. The ships of the system authorities turn green. In the system itself, I have an allied reputation with all fractions.
And it happens quite often. What a strange situation?

Just another bug. Seen same scenario once or twice.

I've had it a couple of times recently too, it's an old bug that comes back occasionally.

Take it as a sign that FDev are working on the game

I haven’t ever seen this.
I’m working on my combat rank - so combat zones, haz res and compromised nav beacons are all I have done for the last year. It does sound like a bug, but if it happens often there must be something you are doing to trigger it.

I can’t help you.

I've had it twice in the past week while High RES hunting (but not for months before), the NPC police behaviour has been just as though I had a case of friendly fire - they all turn red & start "attack run commencing" chat and open fire, but I don't become wanted.

I have pretty good trigger discipline so I can be reasonably confident I didn't hit an innocent, but Occam's Razor suggests not becoming wanted for friendly fire was the more likely bug rather than the police all just randomly deciding I was a criminal

Quite frequent thing when going Bounty Hunting in a HighRES, seen it often. Basically every 2nd session or so.

If feasible, use a HazRES or Compromised NAV Beacon. No Authority Vessels around - no problems with the V3.0 "Random Authority Ship(s) spontaneously turn Hostile" bug.

I wonder, are you pledged to a Powerplay Faction? It should not matter, but perhaps there is a bug related to that?

I have also had that recently... in a High Rez, at the time the 'force' were out of range for the weapons carried so I was certain it wasn't 'friendly fire' causing my graceless exit

No. I am not..

It's the same situation for me.

I see what you here

Also battle lasers for the win!

Don't mind us bored oldtimers OP. We need to constantly ridicule each and everyone around here, including ourselves.
Also what you witnessed is possibly a bug.
Best take a video and post it here so we can analyse what went wrong...
