5th Fleet - Feedback

Hi, just had my first encounter with 5th since starting up Disco again a few days ago, and have to say it was disappointing.

In a nutshell, I got spotted on my transport smuggling cardamine circling the California star around E4 by a 5th capship and an indy bomber. I had an easy get-out by simply quick-docking at Alcatraz (which I had to fly right past), easy, but no fun for anyone involved, right?

So I gave them the chase, almost making it to Buffalo Base (via the Texas, then NY jump holes), but find myself in the situation of having to surrender. Complying with the indy's command to stop, i then find myself without even enough time to type a message before "shields failed" "you are dead", courtesy of the 5th Capital Ship...

Basic question, should I just take the easy get-out and log something else in future when I see 5th flying, or should I be able to expect a little more creativity from your faction members in return for not just quick-docking on them?

(PS: Apologies to Grey:Evans for the irritable PM, I thought it was you that killed me at first, if you read this!)

Have edited out the name of the 5th ship involved to avoid any "trial-by-forum".

[24.08.2018 12:56:46] 5th|: Not really. We intercept enough on planet.

[24.08.2018 12:59:58] Campi.Dorati: //Was that really necessary after I stopped?
[24.08.2018 13:00:03] 5th|: // Yes?
[24.08.2018 13:00:08] 5th|: // You're not a smuggler

[24.08.2018 13:00:23] 5th|: // Why would I not blow it up?
[24.08.2018 13:00:45] 5th|: // On the top you ran for a good few mins prior to stopping
[24.08.2018 13:01:05] Campi.Dorati: //Mmm... ok, enjoy your blue dude, although if you just want to blow Transports, a bomber will make it easier for you <3
[24.08.2018 13:01:23] 5th|: // Too bad I wasn't after you from the start, see there was a Council BS in NY
[24.08.2018 13:02:12] Campi.Dorati: // Too bad your RP is blowing a T with a cap XD, whatever dude, won't bother with you in future, will just dock
