[#1297][Bug 6.10 HF5]: With Yaki disguise inconsistency who is my enemy

[Maynard.Keaynes]

Hi,
i have 6.10 beta (for online testing multiplayer).
My Ship has the yaki disguise. I want to build a gate defense platform in HAtikvah.
I placed 200 Tower defense and begun a station building there too. After the Xenon come in and my disguise activates and deactivates again (because i kill the xen), my Towers attack my own station (!) and the construction ship occasionally too !
I dont know how i can stop this...guess i am fighting myself now !

Please provide a savegame demonstrating the issue.

My own station in Hatikvah and the construction ship nearby are attacked by my own lasertowers ...

I encountered this while back in 5.10:

1. Drop laser towers near amplifier in YAK camouflaged moreya
2. Destroy the amplifier
3. Laser towers now belong to yaki faction

I think this only affects laser towers dropped when cloak was on because when I tried same later in 6.0 I didn’t had this issue, but I had cloak off then

I can't speak for the developers, but to me the game mechanic that controls this is working as intended. The IFF (Identification, friend or foe) system turns on or off, depending on how close you are to a Xenon ship or station. This works as expected in Xenon controlled sectors, but other sectors may have mixed results depending on how close you get to Xenon. When it is on, you and everything you own become a hostile actor associated with the

It is very simple to avoid this, do not use that ship while doing other things. The ship is intended to be used for the

quest line only. Once the quest is complete, the ship will lose this function and it will become a normal ship again.
