faction signature

If you would link up a faction module to your auto heatseeker, It would only track ships from hostile factions. It's friggin' annoying that the only ship damaged by auto heatseekers is your own ship

I think its a bug at all that the missiles target your own ships. When its fixed, it will affect all heatseekers, and won't need you to take special action.

I hope.

It is indeed a bug. In fact, it is a bug that has been around just about as long as heat-seeking missiles themselves, iirc, and it doesn't just affect one's own ship. I seem to recall said bug supposedly having been fixed one update a while back, but found out in a rather visceral manner recently that it had certainly not been fixed when a test swarm of heat-seekers fired from a frigate of mine tracked onto and decimated a friend's little shuttle that was nearby at the time, killing said friend. ._. Both involved ships had active faction blocks on them, for the record.
