One more problem I see here are the pirate cruiser groups with 3-4 cruisers hunting down entire convoys, with the convoy escort not even able to get down 1 cruiser before the transports are blown up.
More over trade will break down with transports excemption of moving around after being killed. They will be shot more now, effectiviley disrupting any encounters within a certain region if it goes on like this.
I already expect heavy Q_Q like it was with all the Hogosha pirating the hell out of trades within Kusari. Back then the devs / admins restricted the Hogosha ID, now we will face the same situation all over sirius.
Where is the sense in that?
