[BUG] 1.32 HAT Pirate Harassment and Rep Loss

[Apostolis78]

HAT pirates harass player traders and when they fight back there is rep loss with the system controller that causes patrol ships to move in and kill player ships. HAT pirates are supposed to be neutral to all no? Why do I lose rep when I shoot or even shoot back at HAT pirate ships? Is this intended or a bug?

Same here.

HAT pirates attack my ships and are marked red in The Reach, Argon security remains inactive, even if it happens right next to them.
When I move in to engage I lose rep and Argon security steps in to kill me.

They are neutral untill they try to pirate, fine with me, but atleast allow me to kill them
