New spöb, default Felon status

Hey everyone!
Since this is my very first post to the EVO web board, I feel it appropriate to begin by asking a strange and possibly stupid question.
When creating a new spöb in a plug-in, my player is automatically defaulted to a Felon legal status. This happens despite my being on good terms with the rest of that government's worlds and even though I'm liked by the government's allies and despised by its enemies. So far I've checked to make sure that I've assigned the correct government and the initial legal record is positive. The spöb settings for MinCoolness is -1.
What's going on? I'm worried that I'm going to end up developing a hostile universe and that everyone who eventually plays the expansion plug will send me flames about what a terrible and incompetent person I am.

Thanks,
Chris Zappe

Thanks for the tip.

Actually, I came to that conclusion shortly after that last post and so the Developers Corner has a duplicate post right now. Sorry about the sloppy web board etiquette!

Carry on!
