What is going on with pirates?!

Pirates appear to be attacking the wrong target.

I haven't played regularly in a few years, so maybe this is the result of a change I'm not aware of or don't understand. I tried a multiplayer game with a buddy and we turned on outlaw sectors and pirates.

I was attacked four cycles in a row by huge pirate fleets, even though each time there was no bounty on me and 20k credit bounties on our enemies, who were also attacked.

What am I missing here? Why am I being targeted without having a bounty?

With outlaw sectors on the pirates can attack multiple players at once. If more raids spawned that players with bounty, that can happen.
