Greyhawk UAV strikes causing faction switch to Civilian in Editor
New, NormalPublic

Description

I was trying to practice flying a Greyhawk UAV, so I set myself up a scenario in the Editor taking back Stratis from the AAF. I had 6 drones, 6 sites, and 6 targets per site (1 per AGM). Launching all of the drones off of the USS Liberty went off without a hitch; however, when I hit the first set of targets, I noticed that my terminal wouldn't let me control any more drones, and disconnecting my terminal from the UAV made it impossible to reconnect. I thought it was an error on my end, so I restarted the scenario several times, and even moved my character's position from the USS Liberty's deck to Camp Maxwell (in case it was an issue with the range of the UAV Terminal); it wasn't until around the third try that I noticed that my BLUFOR character marker had turned to a purple Civilian marker, hence why I was unable to control any BLUFOR UAVs. Always switches back to BLUFOR when I either restart the scenario, or go back to the editor, but not when in the scenario

Steps To Reproduce

1.) Go into the editor, on Stratis
2.) Set up 6 sites of interest around the island of Stratis (locations placed: 2 at the Stratis Airbase to cover north and south, 1 at the military range by Agia Marina, 1 at Mike-26, 1 at Camp Rogain, and 1 at Kamino Firing Range), with 6 AAF vehicles at each location
3.) Put 6 Greyhawk UAVs on the USS Liberty, placed about 3 km off the south coast of Stratis, in between grids 071010 and 071008
4.) Take control of a BLUFOR character, with a UAV terminal in their inventory
5.) Control the Greyhawk drones, and launch them off of the USS Liberty
6.) Use the UAV Terminal to bring the 1 UAV to each point of interest, in a loiter pattern in 500m radius at 500m altitude
7.) Take control of the drone over Mike-26, and lock onto a target with the AGM; continue until either payload is exhausted, or all vehicles are destroyed.
