Is there any way to NOT target system authority ships?

It was not random shooting at cops at all. I'm Allied with the Federation and ranked up a fair bit so far. So i clearly don't have any intent for cop killing. That's why this bothered me, it worries me that my standing is now wiped out and everything i worked up for is gone. It was a genuine friendly fire mistake, but i didn't turn into the friendly ship, they turned into me.

Their ship darted into my screen and in front of the target. There was no way (at least for me, as a novice) to have done anything differently at that stage, at that exact moment, because i simply could not see them coming, and at that point, could not envision that sort of scenario.
What happened to you is generally referred to as "Friendly Fire". It happens to everyone on occasion, and it happens to noobs the most. Speaking from experience, when I started doing pew pew, I didn't have near the trigger control that I do now and subsequently I haven't had an Friendly Fire incident in months. Can't say the same for my crew member, I've had to fire two Elite pilots when they caused me to have to seek out an interstellar because THEY were involved in a Friendly Fire incident.
