[5.10HF2] Fire auth override being ignored

Post by Admiral Sausage » Tue, 10. May 22, 23:56

After discussion in another thread, I have come to believe that this is a bug. My ships are attacking NPC ships even though a fire auth override is set that looks like it should prevent it.

Here's a save shortly before the issue manifests: save_004.xml.gz. The ship NDJ-007 is a MIN Raven disguised as VIG. It is about to pass through a jump gate to where I have a fleet of destroyers set to "protect position". I have a default fire auth override set up with "honorable" for all factions. The description for "honorable" says that civilian ships should not be attacked unless they fire first. Since the Ravens never attack anyone as far as I have seen, this should mean that NDJ-007 is allowed to pass through unharmed, even though VIG is at -30 relation. Instead, it is targetted and shot the instant it comes through the gate.

Sometimes the Ravens will drop their cover after being shot, but my ships continue to attack them regardless.

Using "defensive" instead of "honorable" makes no difference.
