No Police Scans for Player-Owned Ships

Description
Important: 7.10 hotfix 3 should fix police scan bug. Also, currently I'm not sure if that fix breaks this mod. I recommend removing this mod and seeing how your game proceeds.

Police won’t scan ships owned by player.

Quick and dirty mod that removes player-owned ships from list of eligible targets. Primarily created as a workaround for rare bug where police gets aggressive with player traders and miners. Note that this mod changes game balance because player ships can now smuggle with no issues.

Mod can be added and removed at any point (no save changes). Tested with 6.20 for 20 hours with 2 scenarios (200 miners and traders in Sol, and player-owner ship piloted by NPC with illegal ware and cargo).

This mod might conflict with DeadAir mods, or any other mods, that also change aiscript recon move xml file

It's still mandatory for me. I recently deactivated this mod, and the same thing happened.

seems like no longer works for 7.5, just got scanned with stimulants by PIO police.

as much as i hate the bug, it is really interesting to imagine in my head canon that maybe a deal went wrong or something shady and one of your ships attacked the police, leading to one of your unaware allied ships intervening too which escalates.

Thank you @rudi, you are a lifesaver, or at least have prevented further frustration. Losing ships and entire stations due to a bug is nerve wrecking. This bug is totally annoying and it speaks very badly of the developers that they haven't fixed it yet.

@Aramada if you can give that save to egosoft i'd be so grateful! there are lots of reports but so far most get "need a save" from egosoft so there's not much progress on bug fix.
Ironically, i'd love for this mod not to be needed anymore.

Looks like it worked! Based on the save, I'm pretty sure the bug happens when a police unit starts scanning a target in travel drive and it gets out of range. Then it goes hostile.

Looks like its been reported here: https://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?p=5243316&hilit=police#p5243316
