2 things. He said it was hostile to all NPC (non-player controlled) faction and allied to players.
Also I have an idea. Is it possible to make a control key on the keyboard that rolls the ships in FL? like do barrel rolls in a fighter, or use a complicated roll/turn in a cap-ship to run or get behind the enemy. I'm not sure if this is possible though. Another idea was the possibilities of a rudder control.
