Any way to turn off "Mark Enemy if enemy to me" on all my lasertowers?

Basically what the title says.

Right now I'm very friendly with Argon, Borons and Teladi, but Paranid and Split outright hate me.

I'd like to mend relationships with them, even if it's just to the point where they might not attack me on sight, maybe even buy some stations off them (I'd like a majaglit producers so I can make my own advanced satellites, for example).

Problem is my lasertowers. I made a big defense complex with about 70 lasertowers on every access point to any sector I have factories in, plus on each gate on the hub, mainly to ward off xenon and pirates. Thing is they all have "enemy if enemy to me" on, so anytime a Split or Paranid ship shows up, even if they're all set as "friend" in global settings, they'll be attacked by them anytime they enter one of my systems. So I have "Aggresive" -100% at all times on them. Using diplomacy is useless because I can spend 1000 influence to increase my reputation by a couple of percentage points, and it'll go down as soon as any of their ships is shot down by me lasertowers.

If I set Mark enemy if enemy to me to off they won't attack them and I might end up fixing my relationship with them, but I'm not going to go and set it manually on all 400+ lasertowers I have right now.

Sadly, you'll have to do it on each individually. When its highlighted in the sector list, just hit C to bring up its command console. Unless you named them uniquely or alphabetical, they will jump around in the list.

A universal setting for laser towers would be a huge improvement. With all the interface improvements made in FL, I would say this is the single biggest pain which remains.

It's especially bad for multi-race convoys like those spawned for "destroy convoy" missions. Targeting one ship in the convoy turns them all hostile which makes the towers go hostile to all those factions.

Many times I've wondered why I keep getting random 'you have lost reputation' messages only to find a tower somewhere blasting friendlies.

It is a pain but set all laser towers to home at a factory and set the factory to friendly to all races.

It is a pain but set all laser towers to home at a factory and set the factory to friendly to all races.

The only problem with doing that, is the aforementioned "show as enemy if enemy to me". Anything hostile to you will cause the LT to automatically switch its race to enemy. The same thing happens when you launch certain missiles at a target. The ship your flying marks the whole race as enemy. I'd suggest asking Cycrow to see if he can patch it in his unofficial patch version. Ask if it is possible to add it specifically to the global settings section. But only for laser towers.
