Aliens killing transports without a demand is bad for gameplay

[Lythrilux]

Space is dangerous after all.

we still are also playing a game and as such we try to consider the other side

As Snak3 said, thinking otherwise is a bad attitude towards gameplay.

The implication that aliens should talk to you before they kill you, when their sole purpose is to kill you is stupid. You will never be able to convince me otherwise, regardless of what perspective you want me to look at it from.

Same can easily be argued with all the other factions that can't instant-engage all transports and ships on sight, yet they all have various restrictions to keep them balanced and fair in the gameplay environment. Why do Nomads deserve to be an exception to griefing?

But you know what happens? I do something about it instead of complain. If I'm on a transport I'll hire escorts. If I'm not, I'll communicate with people (you know, that thing called roleplay) to seek a solution to a newly developed threat: An alien killing things. Now that is -way- more exciting, interesting and healthy of a response to a surprise attack than "wow i can't believe that squiddo didn't yell at me first!"

Maybe think about alternative solutions before crying over spilled milk.

Feel free to propose alternate solutions vs transport killing cloaked OP battleships and caps supported by dual razor SHFs that undock 14k away from the field, as I don't think you've considered that as a factor. The people saying that getting insta-gibbed by Capital ships and getting locked out of mining make for a thrilling experience, make me think they haven't actually played in the Omicrons recently. And as people have clearly, obviously, stated, why go through all that effort just to mine when there are dozens of other routes you can pick with considerably less risk? The Omicrons are the only region with an ID(s) that can freely kill transports in every ship class without needing to make a demand and without restriction.
