Aliens killing transports without a demand is bad for gameplay

[Backo]

I agree. Just because people can fly with unarmed transports through the Omicrons without feeling endangered doesn't mean they should. For obvious reasons.

I'm very sure a transport can survive a fight versus a gunboat or cruiser 1v1 when armed and armored properly. /s

Before excuses for having such rights to just farm blue messages of easy targets without any way of retaliation was hidden under the excuse of "Oh, but that's only the official ID and we are an official faction that is invite only so we'll keep the standards high", but now there are even indie nomad IDs so what exactly is the excuse for Nomads to have special perks over other IDs? Nowadays Nomads are neither without allies, nor without players or gear to be able to play on the same level as the rest of Sirius.

But if you really want to farm transports (which can't defend themselves against anything bigger than or equal to an gunboat) just demand them to drop all their cargo. I assure you, a good number of them won't comply and let you farm those blue messages to feel good about anyways.
