Repair Turrets causing faction hate?

[SpaceMonkey]

So what's the deal with Repair Turrets?

 

I tried to help repair a friendly ship between waves of Xsotan/Pirates and it only made my reputation worse.

 

Is this intentional? It sure doesn't seem to make sense.

I've never seen this behaviour before. It may be that a recent change to the game code has caused this shift in behaviour?

 

If not, please make sure you are in fact shooting repair beams and not mining lasers. :P

I know that sounds dumb, but it can't hurt to make sure.

I can confirm this issue. I also reported it since August 09 on my post:

Yeah, pretty annoying. I was in the middle of a Faction War and I decided to heal one of the sides... My allies ended up hating me.  Just one repair shot, lost friends forever.

Also if you try to use a player ship to heal an alliance ship (and viceversa) that doesn't work either.

 

I found a way to work around it. Mount those repair turrets on fighters. Then just order those fighters to attack (heal) something and that will work as inteded.

If you thought about having a dedicated healing ship, you can forget about it.

I mean I did request reputation change on repairing ai faction ships with the repair turret.

But it would be silly if they made it negative.

 

I've never experienced this behaviour before.

I'm testing the beta branch and now repairing ships with repair fighters is no longer possible... WTF
