I had that "convoy shooting itself up" thing once, too. Two warships and a merchant gunning each others down.
Quote:
The game is set up to prevent you from firing at neutrals or friendlies. If you do, you are immediately considered an enemy for the next 24 hours. Unfortunately that works for the other side too: if a British (or any other) ship accidentally hits one of his own, or a neutral, he suddenly becomes an enemy and they all start shooting at him.
Too bad, but that's the way it is.

I remember this cute little exploit in
TIE Fighter. It had the same system: "
If ya shoot aht me, I kill ya
!".
So whenever this duo of enemy corvettes entered the battle in formation, I'd fly between them so they accidentally hit each others firing at me. Then...
