auto criminal aggressor rating

While aiding the blue friendlies, somehow a coil mortar will cause me to be aggressor. Then the drones will make me a criminal despite not firing on the ships( the drones do) . They also fire on anything red even when I don’t want to fire on them. It would be nice if they only fired on what I fire on first.

Coil mortar has a high blast radious. Friendlys likely moved into that area.

Drones are attacking the highest skill rating unfriendly unit near you. Combat drones of course. Attack drones won’t attack until you lock. Which will lock a target you are shooting at if you have no other locked targets, depending on lock settings of course.
