Aliens killing transports without a demand is bad for gameplay

[LaWey]

In short, you wrong. This bread and butter doesnt depend from danger, or killing in interaction, but solely from trade routes profit. Its eco-related problem, and wont be fixed by making transport invulnerable.

Nomads should just kill without descriptive sex-shop RP and without much limitations in omicrons, or just simple dont exist. Staff should decide need they nomads at all or not.

Increasing threat from nomads will increase activity of respective factions who supposed kill them/provide escorts. All what there really needed - trade routes + tweaks in manufacturing lines from nom remains + bigger variety of mission difficulty.

I write it as player who mostly flied transports, and i should say that danger itself rarely going to be considered (if only this is not absolute cap camping at end point. Tho even this sometimes doable with cloak ships). What i really considered, its how much money way will bring, and how far i puke when see chosen route in 10000000 time.

P.S. People can be confused when wild just killing them, because they could expect them at least trying to be infiltrators, but i doubt that average buttplug intentions could be surprise.
