Wanted Status correction

[Fia]

While it is very annoying when the ship you jump in to defend flies right past your cockpit into your line of fire causing you to become wanted a much more frequent problem I am having is the security forces turning red and attacking me when I am engaging a wanted ship. I do not have a kill warrant scanner, have not accidentally hit anyone else and always make certain that the target is wanted. Yet I regularly have to flee when security opens fire on me even though I have no fine, bounty or wanted status attributed to me.

This occurs when the wanted ship's faction matches the local authority faction.

You have to pay attention to who you're shooting at. Being wanted isn't a cart blanche to open fire.

Well, thanks for not flaming me. I haven't played much since my big whinge, a house move is still in progress. I will carry on with the 'learning curve'. I am a veteran player of Enb and Vendetta Online: I WANT to enjoy this new -to-me space game (never played the previous Elites...).

FYI there is a "Friendly fire thread" dedicated to this problem, and they are going to actually try fixing it in v1.1
