Aliens killing transports without a demand is bad for gameplay

[Lythrilux]

I think getting killed by Nomads in a transport is fine. It's a low risk as Nomad encounters are rather rare.
But we could increase the profit of Delta's ores to make up for the risk, as Nomad encounters are frequent there.

Omicron ores kind of need a serious balance pass and discussion as to how they can be made decent. I agree, the risk is astronomical compared to other ores, yet the profit is no different (or even worse?). The only problem with balancing economy around players like that is it means during low pop the profits could be broken. It's a tricky predicament.

Also you say the encounters are both frequent and low risk? I'd be inclined to agree with the former.
