Head hunters ruining smuggler reputation

[Ygdrad]

I've had headhunters from a faction I'm pirating show up while I'm at my local friendly smuggler's hideout. Problem is that if I take out these head hunters, I lose reputation with the smugglers. This is a problem since head hunters come with smuggling.

 

Is this working as intended?

Thanks for reporting. Headhunters don't come with smugglers intentionally, that was a random encounter. But good to know that this happens, I'll look into it.

Oops, I didn't word that quite right. To my understanding head hunters show up if you're near a hostile faction, and having enemies is a mostly unavoidable result of piracy and stealing cargo. This is fine, the headhunters potentially ruining the ability to sell/unbrand stolen goods by harming your reputation with smugglers is the issue.
