As far as I understand, FOF missiles used to be rather dangerous to use in high-sec as they could attack neutral targets and cause CONCORD to destroy the ship using them.
A lot has changed in that area with the complete overhaul of Crimewatch. So I'm wondering how FOF missiles are affected by the safety setting?
If I set my safety to green, can FOF missiles still attack targets that would cause a CONCORD reaction? And how would the behaviour of FOF missiles change if I set my safety to orange or red?

FOF missiles have been rather safe to use for years now. Back in Revelation II, they were changed from attacking the closest object/target/ship/anything in space to only attacking mission rats and large collidable objects in high-sec, and any ships and large collidable objects in low- and null-sec.
What's dangerous about them is that they have a penance to choose large collidable objects instead of players or rats, making them a massive wastage factor along with their diminutive ability to reduce the mission rats' combined DPS on your ship.
A general rule of thumb regarding FoF-missiles: recycle them.
