Possible to set manually creatd NPRs to hostile to everybody?

Tried again after the AI had researched Salvalge Module 500, but it is still unable to use newly gifted or the older ships. I tried to use their techs when designing the gifts, but it looks like they are simply unable to use the gifts.

Maybe I will try to gift them a simple combat ship or a freighter tomorrow and see if gifting works with them.

Don't try giving NPRs ships that you have designed - it will probably confuse them as they expect ships to be designed in specific ways and they know all the class IDs of the ships they designed. Also, when NPR classes are created they are given special type IDs so the NPRs know they are a colony ship or fuel harvester, or escort, FAC, etc. Without that ID (which you can't create as it is done in code), the NPR doesn't know what the ship is and the NPR movement and combat system depends on knowing the type ID. You can give them additional ships of their existing types because they know what to do with them

It's highly likely you will cause bugs that you won't even know about for a while. Designer mode really is just a tool to set what is going on. You should try to avoid changing things

Well, looks like I have to let nature runs it course then Next time just keep reloading a save and setting up as race till they get the wanted stats will be the way to go. But even having gained this insight is worth something
