Yep. Had been bugging me for ages wondering why I kept getting friendly fire incidents even though I had KFFT on.

Legend. Thanks for making this. Just had to reload after a big battle because one of my ships went berserk on my allies in the middle of a big firefight.

Please be aware that any damage received from a ship that is currently red will have the appropriate response. A red ship is a dead ship.

It ONLY applies to a player ship that is assigned to defend another player ship, and only when the defending or defended ship is hit by something they should not be allowed to attack. For some reason the vanilla code decides that player owned ships don't respect relations or fire authorisation settings.

If you sent a fleet into a battle where allied factions are involved, and one of those allied factions accidentally hit one of your ships that is either defending or being defended in the fleet, they would all go nuts and start firing on the friendly faction.

Now they will respect the rules and not shoot back at friendly ships/stations if they are accidentally hit.

If you want a more complete set of friendly fire fixes, go look at Kuertee Friendly Fire Tweaks on nexusmods, which covers most other cases.

Neither mod allows the player to cheat in any way. Deliberate attack orders still cause targets to turn hostile, and so will clearly deliberate attacks or boarding actions.

Hello, I just subscribed to this mod because in the vanilla version it is unplayable due to friendly fire, but I have doubts about how exactly it works. The thing is, I don't want to cheat in the game or have the option to steal ships or attack stations without fear of the consequences. The only thing that worries me is that the escort of my freighters starts conflicts at every moment and causes the destruction of those freighters. If you could explain better how it works I would greatly appreciate it. Greetings and thanks for your effort.
