Friendly Faction Allied With Pirates? How To Fix That

[technitaur]

So there was a friendly faction on the official test server that was somehow allied with a specific pirate faction, meaning if you tried to defend yourself in the friendly faction space, you'd get negative rep with them.

 

I discovered it's possible to turn factions against each other. I started circling one of the friendly stations slowly, and there were like 20 pirates attacking me. Their projectiles started hitting the station.

 

After a bit, I noticed the pirates specifically targeting friendly craft.

 

Cleaned up the 20+ pirates and got a reward...

 

If you have this issue with a faction, that's how to solve it!
