Weird bug (?) with Scale Plate Reputation

Couldn't find anything on Google (who can find anything substantial there nowadays anyway..) so asking X redditors before going to Egosoft directly as I'm unsure if this is a bug actually.

Since a while, my SCA turn hostile for no apparent reason and stations/ships will shoot my ships on sight. Sometimes it's out of nowhere, sometimes it happens when I build some station, regardless if in a sector they have assets in or not. As far as I remember, until the Terraforming Project done, the rep to SCA is fixed to -5 and can not change. As I'm not using any mods, do anyone face the same? Or did I just forgot about this being possible/normal in the past 4-5y I didn't play?

The bizarre thing about it is that I have teleport ships sitting at their Pirate Bases for trading in my fucktons of panels and so on and once I teleport to any of those ships, rep goes back to normal..

Here some screens, last one I just teleported to the ship:

How many pre-emptive Defence Measures do you need me to build for you?

Hatikvah: Yes!

The only one that was there from the beginning is the one south from their Trading Station, they keep asking for more but mostly near to the Xenon Gate and it would take over my Gatekeeper Station so no way I give it to them on top.

I saw a lot of Hatikvah's Choice I warzones here and there from other players worlds, let me present you the most secure sector in my universe.

Ok, this is ridiculous

Got the engine purple mod today so could add it to my Yasur I acquired last week in the Collectors Edition Bonus stuff with the Soundtracks. My Autopilot is failing successfully at reaching places, so am I.

I think I will revisit the Xenon Hub in Eleventh Hour to see if the devs updated anything on it since the last time I was there 4-5y ago.

It not perfect rolls but very good ones I guess.

What y'all doing with your Xenon Fleets?

I find them almost underwhelming tbh, the PE looks fancy, the F, well don't know what to say and the SE maybe the only one kinda special as he can hold solids and containers but tried to let them fight a bit, that's not really convincing me.. So what do you do with yours? Just for the show or do you use them actively?

Today I finished to clear up all the Fog of War in all the sectors up to (even over) the edges. It's not wild but I'm particularly proud of this achievement.

Couple screenshots, it looks so nice all over my map now. Fresh public 9.0 start.

It took much longer than I'm ready to admit, as done manually by tracing path to a Katana in every sector (but Leap of Faith and the Quetowhatevernots, did not open them now but will be quickly done once I go there).

I would herewith honor Maree Motoli, PIO, Captain of the "ARC ACS Fog of War Task Force Katana-FWT01" who assisted me in that very important task brilliantly, harassed by Kha'aks, Xenons or travelling through hazardous Regions without ever failing her mission. You deserved that 4* Pilot Seminar.

Terrans in my actual PT are fk stupid..

It's like the 20th time I see them throwing Asgards without any escort or whatsoever into Xenon Territory swarms.. Wtf is wrong with them, are they stupid? Young Gun fresh 9.0 public release all DLC start (Vanilla).

In the past hours, my looters from my Gatekeeper Stations in HC and Open Market were very kind to me: Xenon F, Xenon PE, a couple B's and a bunch of SE's. I also grabbed the H from Timelines. I'm a simple man, I'm happy.

This is a good day :)

Vanilla, all DLC's

My perfect Start into the Game would be? Post yours in comments

Just released Spaceweed Criminal from ARG Prison, you'll have to find a way out the brig. 564cr from detention Labor. No ship. Random Station in Argon Prime.

Added ability: Taxi from A to B, with credits, I'll pay you later bro or punches to the face, 50% chance for punches.

No Boso until you get to Heretic End by yourself.

Change my mind about my perfect start.

You know why I love this game? Because it's exactly what many peeps don't like about it.

Got this back 2018 when it came out, lost my Steam account to some ex-Wife, didn't decide to obliterate her, just gave her the shared account as a peace arrangement.

I do not regret, bought the CoPE Bundle again and after all those years, I don't think any other space related game satisfy me as this one.

Why?

Because there is no Mommy that takes you by the Hand to guide you, that's the main part, discover by yourself.. I never ever started any other PT than A Young Gun, Boso calling me early now (Beta related?) is even too much early for me as a Guidance, because it's also unveiling the Boron Plot somehow.

But it's ok, I'm running the Highway in my Elite and my a half Star Pilot (She pretty, tho, that's the only reason I recruited her from the HAT Trade Port) and doing missions for a dime and no or a little allegiance to them, shooting those little red ships with my MK1 Laser whatever stupid gun it is, is great man, I love them giving me cheap Micro Motors or whatever, because I have now a M Freighter and can buy and sell 100 advanced Satellites at a time and make more money than Zuckerberg and Elon reunited do in minutes, meanwhile my shitty Pilot is looting all the valuable stuff from the XEN remains at the HAT/XEN Jumpdoor via repeated orders, me sitting in my comfy Personal Buro in the HQ.

Thanks for reading, I'm now taking over the Universe, then doing the Plots, PAR/HOP the LEAST of course, as back in days. If you are lost, it's because you guys didnt get one simple thing about this "game" -> You decide, at the end who rules it, and with whom, it will take time and a lot of effort, if you don't want this, get another game. End of Story. Comm out.

PS: Spacefuel might be involved in this post, beware, usage of Spacefuel is prohibited in most parts of the Universe and might reduce your expected lifetime if consumed excessively. If you have trouble to get into it, for some reason, just post a comment, I, we, will help you, stranded ones in the X4 Universe.

Came back after 3-4y and a couple questions

I remember that I could setup a ship to gather stuff (Hatvikah Choice 1) and then put it in my HQ storage. Now (Beta) it only allows me repeat orders, that doesnt help.. Also, I do not get any Spacefly Eggs from Xenons, I need that Caviar for the Quest. Can you help me out?
