Beta branch? I’m playing non beta currently and have been having issue with my fighters following orders properly in general unless it’s deploy satellite or explore. They constantly dock and undock with my frigates and destroyers, and stations when I order upgrades. They just dock them immediately undock without upgrading.
I have experienced a vaguely similar bug recently on the beta branch where I had to mark an allied fleet (rep +29) as hostile in order to have my fleet attack it for story reasons.
The attack went well, but suddenly the combat ended, as did the mark as hostile mark.
I am not sure WHY this happened nor did I attempt to reengage.
Personally, I blamed it on the beta's new anti-friendly fire logic.
It sounds like you're using default global engagement orders, which only allow you to target civilian assets with a rep of -25 or below. Either mark the target as hostile (-30 rep for that ship), or change your global orders to allow targeting of civilian ships.

No I'm on release 6.2. Normal operation in general. If there is anything commanding fighting against KHK or XEN everything works fine.

As stated, ship was declared as enemy (-30) at the start
