Relation Filter Target Profile Bug

[XGNXLency]

When using Relation as a filter in a Target Profile, if a player has at least 500 reputation with a faction, the AI considers them as part of the faction, not friendly which makes filtering by Friends as a relation pointless. This used to work, only broke within one of the last 2 updates of the mod. Here's my target profile which I used to test:

I am experiencing what appears to be the same Relation target-filter regression in MES 2.73.07.

This affects several independent NPC mods simultaneously:

• Orks
• Reavers
• Imber Corporation
• Parallax Concepts
• Independent Contractors
• Pravda Heavy Industries

All of their target profiles allow player targets and use:

[Target:PlayerAndGrid]
[Owners:Player]
[MatchAllFilters:Relation]
[Relations:Enemy]

Observed behavior:

• NPCs detect nearby players through proximity triggers. For example, an Ork HydrogenManNear trigger activated repeatedly.
• The player was physically approximately 57 metres from the NPC ship, outside a safe zone.
• Player reputation with the NPC faction was hostile.
• The NPC still reported Current Target: No Target, or selected another hostile NPC faction instead.
• NPC factions fight each other normally but appear to ignore human players.
• Player suit or grid broadcasting does not change the result.
• The same behavior occurs with boss encounters.

This does not appear to be a single encounter-mod configuration issue because all affected mods use different behavior profiles but share the MES Relation filter.
