So after a long break I've recently returned to the game (taken after obtaining my Cutter/Corvette), I've played the game mostly solo and as such get bored quickly something I'd like to change going forward. Since my absence some new ships have been released including the Type-10. As someone who enjoys flying the fighters I liked the idea of a Type-10 for solo fighter game-play with support from turrets and also for multi-crew, however when I recently tried to wing up with a friend my "Defender" failed to defend my wing-mate, along with my AI-crewed fighter set to "Engage at Will".
When you attack an AI wing of ships what happens? They all go hostile right, well I'd assumed that when my wing-mate was attacked by pirates my Type-10 would consider my wing-mates attackers as hostile and engage them, same goes with my fighter but it doesn't. And to make matters even worse there's no key binding to target your wing-mates attacker either, with my Blue HUD setup they would show up on radar as a different colour (redish/purple), but I had no easy way to target them even the "Zero 0" key binding for "target wing target" didn't work for me at the time.
I get this could be abused by a wing-mate who starts a wrong fight but surely at the very least there should be an option to toggle this behaviour, however a default always hostile to wing-mates attackers would be fine by me (isn't the point of a wing mutual defense/support?) as there is already tools to prevent abuse in multi-player that I think are sufficient, so Frountier please fix this.
TL;DR AI Wings all turn hostile when one is attacked (as it should be), however when my wing-mate is attacked his enemy is not considered hostile to me or my AI fighter and my "Defender" fails spectacularly to live up to it's name.
