Is there any way to De-escalate attacks with friendlies?

[Duncaroos]

I remember the good ol' days of X3TC, where if you accidentally argo a friendly station / ship due to friendly fire, you can comm them to say it was accidental. Hey, when AI shoots ME they tell me it was an accident but it was MY FAULT I got in the way.

Please please please, give us a way to de-escalate accidental attacks. Or maybe someone knows of a way? I went in sector to see my new defence station, and long-behold a cerberus got in the way of an L-pulse gun and got mad. No way to tell him sorry but it was THEIR FAULT

This has been discussed many times. The developers do not seem to want to change the system, yet. In the meantime I recommend using a mod, such as Friendly FIre Tweaks, link:

There is also a mod for what you want to do, can't remember its name though.
Edit, here it is, Apologize for Attack, link:

Only way I've been able to de-escalate an angry 'friendly' Starbase and its hornets is to run away very fast and warp somewhere else.

And never, never shoot back.
