I accepted a mission to deliver a split TS in the sector Bluish Snout. I had a complex nearby that used a number of Caiman Tankers (speed being valuable owing to the pirate and xenon threats), so I used one of them. It was accepted and the mission completed. However, the transport still shows up in my complexs owned ships list.
(on a side note, I do think having sold ships fly around is really awesome; i did a doubletake the first time I saw a fighter I named flying around with some crappy boron at the controls)

Irrational factors are clearly at work.

Yes. I wrote over the save so I haven't been able to try and reproduce it without scripts running.
Update: The bajillion NPC freighters are now squatting my complex hub, preventing my ships from landing. Jerks.

The same problem, the same situation.
Before the problem I sold one freighter (owned by my complex) to NPC and this freighter remains "owned". At first it was the only "owned" NPC freighter in the list. I thought it is temporary. After that I have added some stations to the complex.
At the moment I detected the problem there was about 370 NPCs in the "Owned Ships" list. And the quantity did not change.
Right after I have added one more station to my complex, it's become 1762 NPCs in "Owned Ships" list.
So, I suppose, NPCs are added to Owned List when I add station to complex and there are some "owned" NPCs already.
I can send the save file to developers. Version 1.4 (game begin - 1.3), no scripts.

2.0a: New NPC ships appears in my complex "Owned Ships" list. Old NPC ships did not vanish.
I will try to explain once more from the beginning, step by step.
- I have a complex.
- I assigned 3 freighters to the complex (I don't remember whether freighters was bought at the shipyard or from NPCs).
- I sold one of the freighters to NPC. From that moment this freighter is not owned by me, but it is present in the complex "Owned Ships" list and is owned by NPC.
- V.1.4: After I have added some stations to the complex, I noticed that there are hundreds of NPC's ships in my complex "Owned Ships" list. Exactly there are 370 NPC ships (white) and 2 my ships (green).
[savegame is made at this point]
- V.1.4 and v.2.0a: At the moment I add one more station to the complex it's become 1762 ships in the list (1760 NPC ships and 2 my ships). New 1390 NPC ships appears right when I add the station to the complex. They appears in the sectors with shipyards and moves to my complex like several swarms.
After some time these swarms forms one BIG swarm. It is like a cloud with a complex in the center.
I suppose the most appropriate name for this bug should be "freighters invasion".

You know this reminds me of an old TC post. The player (can't remember who) had this sort of issue in Antigone Memorial (I think) where they were having a similar NPC issue. Apparently they had some several thousand fighters (NPC) in the sector (a complex was involved, IIRC) and the number of NPC's was increasing by the minute which was making the game unplayable. Don't recall if it was ever resolved since the two main reactions to the thread were "A. Laugh" followed by "B. WTF did you do to your game?".
