Report Enemy Action
Version 1.12 - Download here - courtesy of Xai Corp.
This script generates BBS messages which give a threat assessment report on surrounding sectors owned by the same race.
From the readme:

Report Enemy Action v1.12 by eladan
----------------------------------
This package installs a new BBS message, which will provide a summary of any current threats detected in nearby sectors owned by the same race. Threats are considered to consist of any ships owned by Xenon, Khaak, or Pirates. Threat assessment is somewhat arbritrary, and comes in five flavours, extreme, high, medium, low, and minimal.
Changelog
---------
v1.12 - Fixed a minor bug introduced in 1.11 where messages would be displayed if there was non-zero threat below minimal
v1.11 - Minor change to threat assessment. First public release.
v1.10 - Changed detection to scan by ship class (was picking up hidden smugglers - oops)
- Threat assessment more detailed using threat index by class
- increased no of threat flavours, adding extreme and minimal on each end
- Changed scan range to be max gate dist from sector center +50km
- Stopped message appearing on non-race stations in sector (mainly to stop pirate BBS showing it.) Exception: goner
v1.00 - Initial release.

On the first glance, the script works rather well, and it is fully compatible with XTM, as far as I can see.
The chance of seeing one is not too great, so do not expect to be swarmed by these things.
One issue I have noticed though - If no enemies are found in nearby sectors, the script still displays the BBS message, but without any sector - threat levels. It does look quite odd that a warning is announced saying to watch out from these sectors :
and a blank follows..
It just looks weird, perhaps there is a way to put something in there, like "Threat level - none", or "All sectors are safe", or something like that..
Other than that, I have not seen any problems with this script, so thumbs up!

Yep, it should be compatible with any other script or mod. There aren't any resources used. I think it would be most useful with a busy mod like XTM actually!

The frequency can quite easily be increased or decreased - if anyone thinks a change is required, I'd be happy to hear.

Thanks for that - I had thought that I had made the message not appear if there was nothing to show... I'd better double check that.
:EDIT: found the bug. Untested, but I'm pretty sure it's the one you were seeing.
