Just started the new community expedition, so first real taste of the Echoes update. I think my starter freighter crew are engaging in some light piracy on the side. My standing with the main system race keeps ticking down every so often, and I gain rep with the Outlaws faction. At least if they are going to go rogue and loot merchants, they can cut me in for a piece of the action!
Didn't see anything in the patch notes.
From @[email protected] :
@Kaymorak @Grimpen It’s a bug. Whenever another player engages civilian freighters, they gain standing with outlaws, and lose it with the local race running the system… And the bug makes ANY player in that system gain and lose. :P
It’ll hopefully be fixed in the upcoming patch, which is in test.
I've stopped this happening so much by parking my freighter in quieter systems. Without a steady supply of salvaged frigate modules I haven't upgraded my freighter much anyways. If your freighter isn't somewhere where other players and you are at the same time, it should hoist the Jolly Roger.
Just dropping a comment because I’m curious too. This happened to me last night in the expedition, latest patch. Portaled from one station to another, gained like 4 outlaw rep and lost 7 gek.

Ahhhh good to know thanks. I’ll hold off doing anything with my main save until that patch then. Though it sounds like unless you’re in populated systems it shouldn’t happen.
