The answer to accidental fire.......

This is the answer as to why it is the way it is, and it is not broken.


I think I have figured it out, you go to a Nav Beacon to get some wanted and credits, all good. Then after 4 or 5 at about the 70K credits mark one of two things will happen:-

1, you accidentaly clip an authority ship with fire or it gets in the blast wave of a missile.
2, The Authority ships turn red and attack you even without you shooting them.

These two things above are a given.

In simple terms it is to stop you from spending hours at a Nav Beacon racking up huge bounties for little effort.
I can only manage 70-100K before someone starts shooting at me, I cant get better than that.
Also I noticed a dude shooting at me so I parked myself beside a stationary Viper Authority vessel. Sure as day the NPC hits the viper with fire but no nooooo he does not become wanted. FYI.

It's fine as it is. It forces you to watch the radar more, makes you careful with your fire, more aware of your surroundings, its dangerous man.

If this is the answer then I don't understand the question...

I agree. As a career bounty hunter I rarely, very rarely hit a friendly. I've learned to pay attention to the tools provided to watch my proximity to other ships and trigger discipline. It boils down to experience and situation awareness. Rookies will hit friendly NPCa much much more than vet pilots.
