QQ at Keeper Marduk

[Daeraen]

Lets say there's an aggressive alien species inRL. Do you honestly think it'd wait for you to give them a verbal lecture and be all like (wait), communicate with me before you shoot me into pieces after I shot your little friends ?

I'm not 100% certain (and I certainly wasn't there), but I think all he is asking for is a chance to "say" something (which he certainly would have had the chance to do "IRL" over his comm) to the effect of "Oh my god, what is tha---" BOOM!

Just a thought. Remember, as you put it, the ship /would/ uncloak before destroying the Zephyr. Even in that instance the commander of the Zephyr would have had a chance to get at least a little something spoken out loud before being vaporized.

I'm pretty sure that's all he's asking for.

Then again, maybe I am wrong.

*shrugs*

Here's something to consider... Maybe how it could have gone:

Marduk: The immense vessel approaches, its hostile intent palpable.
Zephyr commander: Oh my god.. what is.. Attention all hands, aband- (or prepare to f-)...
Marduk: *emotes his shooty thing and fires all weapons*
Zephyr Commander: *Screams as his ship is vaporized.*

That would be more satisfying from an RP perspective for all involved, don't you think?

Just food for thought.
