[BUG] Shot at by claimed ship

[GreasyBaz]

I claimed a ship that bailed during a neighborhood watch mission. Now if I fly directly in front of the claimed ship it opens fire at me. It only shoots if I place myself directly in front of it. It doesn't actively turn to shoot me.

I saved the game just before capturing the ship. I tried reloading from that saved game and tried to capture it again. It again shoots at me if I place myself in front of the captured ship but this time it also has the boarding pod floating just in front of it. When I give the captured ship orders the boarding pod moves with the captured ship. Giving the ship orders to follow me doesn't stop it from trying to shoot me.

I don't have much experience capturing ships in XR. Whats the situation with your pilot you put in the captured ship? I was thinking maybe, just maybe you hired the pilot earlier, then became enemies with a faction, and that pilot is part of that faction. So it could be messing up it's friend foe recognition since one factor is saying he works for you, while the other is saying enemy. Maybe try putting the pilot in the ship, then firing him and see if he goes full hostile on you.

I can say with certainty that this isn't the issue, at least for me anyway, because of two reasons.

1) The unclaimed fighter with nobody in it, pilot just bailed, will still fire at me if I fly in-front of it.

2) I claimed it with a RoC pilot who I am very friendly with and it will still fire at me if I'm in-front of it.

Off topic but there seems to be no way the repair capped fighter, at least for me there isn't, the ship dealer doesn't have the ship listed under repair. I can sell it too him for 0 credits but I read somewhere that at a certain hull percentage the ships become worthless.

Experienced same issue as OP.

Forced a Reiver fighter pilot to bail out (escape pod visible).
Claimed the ship while I had a pilot on the Skunk ready.
Pilot capsule flies to fighter, caps it.
Succes!

When I fly the Skunk in front of the fighter, the fighter opens fire.
