Turrets targetting friendly

I wing up with another commander and yesterday my ship-launched fighter decided to shoot at him and with that all the turreted burst lasers on my Type-10.

Now every time he goes near my ship, the turrets start firing at him, is there any way to mark him as friendly? We both have notoriety, I don't know if that effects the auto-targeting behavior.

Switch from fire at will to target only

Also.. When in a wing you should remain 'Friendly' even when under 'friendly' fire

It'll simply be that your friend managed to clip you with his own weapons fire, enough to cause a significant drain to the shield, or damage to the ship. With the turrets in "fire at will" mode they will fire back & continue to fire while the ship that fired on them is in range.

Solution? As above, change them into "target only" mode, or jump out to supercruise then drop back in. That should reset whom your ship perceives as friend / foe.

for some reason, the two ships started firing at each other. it might have been when trying to select the wingman's target and accidentally targeting the main ships. The ship fighter and the main ship.

Both of us have done the Target only thing, both computers have been logged out and turned off, but when we go back we start automatically shooting at each other.

Hmm, maybe don't target each other when on that mode.

I think I know why, as we are both wanted in the area we were playing in, when one of us clipped the other it was registered like a pirate attack, and opened fire. So until we are not wanted, the ships will consider each other as enemies
