Any way to avoid hitting a friendly with an Ion Disruptor
I really enjoy using Ion disruptors. They make capturing so much easier and more profitable. Problem is, when I try to capture a Khaak vessel, other friendly ships also try to join in on the fight, and I end up hitting accidentally hitting them with my Ions. Is there any way to avoid this, or a sector with Khaak and no other races?

Yeah. Don't fire.
If you got friendlies about, IonDs and PSGs will get you in trouble. Most people that just have to use them, drag their opponents way off to the boonies of the sector. But if a few friendly fighters or sector patrols show up, best to just kill it with controlled weapons, and ride on to the next battle.
Good luck and have fun!

There are a variety of Unknown sectors and Khaak sectors which you can cap in without fear of hitting allies, although going to the khaak sectors is not a great idea without a good ship, since the Khaak M2 can make mince of a lot of ships.

Actually you just have to be careful. I have often captured pirates that were under attack from race ships without hitting the race ships with the Ions. You just need to choose your shots and keep a close eye on your radar.
Mind you if you do happen to hit them a few times then just capture them too

I went on a killing spree with a PSG Oddy in Xenon 472, and before I knew2 it, I'd dropped from Argon accepted member 70 odd percent to Argon Foe 81%. Since it was daft enough to kil the shipyard as well, there aren't even any Xenon to kil in Black Hole Sun.
It's going to take a looooooong time to get my docking rights back.

if ur helping out another pilot in distress then just get as close to him as you can and wait for pirate to fly towards you, fly at em and fire IonD, u should be pointing away from friendly, just watch out as pirate turns that you dont do a 180.
