I saw it, as the OP post was rather big I missed the presence of the save the first time... saw it on my way out but did not have time to edit my post...Remoradfc wrote: ↑Wed, 18.

I also opened a Suggestion thread to propose 3 separate options that would allow players the ability to manually eject docked craft that they do not own. Took some arguing, since the peanut gallery trolls all felt they needed to discourage my proposals as irrelevant and unnecessary. But I argued back. viewtopic.php?f=146&t=450958&p=5155324#p5155324
dtpsprt - I am unsure how to interpret your post. The OP does include a vanilla save. It is there in the link. This website does not permit loading of files and attachments here. We are required to use 3rd party file hosting sites. Not my choice, but that is what the moderators want. And you are correct, the fly-by capturing was the method I was using and is likely the reason myself, Orno and others have enemy drones in our hangars. At moment it is a pest that hurts my OCD everytime I look at my ship. I may one day sell the ship so the eyesore is gone. But that wont happen until I replace it.
The drone launches almost immediately after you are marked as hostile. So it turns against you more than the pods. If you are far away it will go all the wqay to it's allowed distance "chasing" you and then it will return. In the mean time the "target ship" is not stationery so the drone needs more time to catch up to it, some times waaaaaay more time (like if it sot out of sector. By that time the ship is captured, the dron belonging to the faction of the ship is no longer considered hostile by you and it lands in the captured ship's hamgar...Remoradfc wrote: ↑Thu, 19. Jan 23, 23:12Not sure how Fly-by boarding could be the cause. Your sending droppods, marines are doing their thing, and the target still has drones around. I am still in the same sector, usually I hang around nearby, but out of range. I suppose it could be possible to do this method then leave sector. But again, that is no different than any other normal boarding operation. The only evident difference is that the target is at full health. But sure... if it is useful to devs, then it's useful to them. *shrug*
Had this same issue, occurred after a fly-by boarding on an allied Chthonios Mineral, however in my case both were in external storage and so could be destroyed.Alan Phipps wrote: ↑Thu, 19. Jan 23, 11:36The useful fact that it may occur during or because of fly-by boarding is the situational information needed that might allow the devs to prevent this happening and so make gameplay mechanic changes rather unnecessary. That boarding information would not have been evident from saves made well after the boarding event and so the devs have to rely on posters for situational history. Thanks for the contributions.
