The Z'Ant hostility thing happens randomly and no known cause has been found to date. I stumbled on to one thing I think might play a part in it and plan to experiment a bit further to see if it stays consistent.

For a very long time, since his first hostile episode, I would never join the Umpani until after I had been given the quest to get the flight recorder. Many games played this way and he never went hostile.

I got tired of wasting all this time and have played both sides of the fence right from the beginning lately. Twice more Z'Ant went hostile. I save all my game in zip files and I save often every game in multiple slots as actions dictate so I was able to look and see any similarlities.

The only common thing I did in these two games as opposed to other games where I was a double agent immediately is go to the Mook and hand them the Umpani Alliance Offer letter first while carrying the Z'Ant T'Rang-Mook letter.

Out of curiousity I handed the Mook the Z'Ant letter first in both these games and saw no change. Then I put the Umpani letter in a chest and handed them the Z'Ant letter and returned to Z'Ant, he was fine in both games and was not hostile.

It most likely is just a fluke but its the first time I was able to change the outcome so I planned to see if this action has any bearing on Z'Ant in my current games and in the future. Maybe if some of you are in this situation you could check it out too. Just make absolutely certain Z'Ant is not already hostile to you before doling alliance letters out to the Mook.
