does the faction that your ship was built by have an effect on your interaction with npc's? i'm asking because i had been hauling freight and saved up enough money to buy a dromedary. unfortunately the hackers were hostile towards me, so i traded in the freighter for a defender heavy fighter and went on a xenos killing spree. i eventually killed enough of them that the hackers had shifted to neutral, so i headed for mactan base. all the hackers i came across along the way were neutral and didnt bother me (except one that demanded i drop my cargo, it was only 2 units of scrap metal so i gave it to him). when i got close enough to mactan to detect it, it came up red and all the fighters near it attacked me. so what i'm wondering is did they attack because the fighter i was flying was a liberty navy ship, or do i need to do stuff to make them more neutral?
