If you have a companion in formation Alpha or Gamma () and are using the fragmentation missiles for the NAMI launcher then the fragmentation missiles will explode instantly hurting both you and your companion, but letting the badguys escape.

There isnt a failsafe on the frag, so this would happen. Perhaps there should be a small failsafe?

The problem is that fragmentation missiles go off if they come near a ship owned by a different sovereign. Note that "different sovereign" is not the same as "enemy". Wingmen count as owned by a different sovereign.
Originally I did it this way for performance. It is a lot cheaper to check for sovereign identity than for enemy/friend status. But I should/will change it.
Thanks!
