Explanation on Combat Targets: Transports carrying event cargoes become combat targets to the listed factions. This means they may be shot without a demand by any ship type that is allowed to attack transports. This does not bypass rule 4.7 regarding capital ships and the circumstances under which they may attack transports.
Sadly, I've also had to remove the elements about points being subtracted for cargo interceptions. As things currently stand, the event system it not capable of detecting ships that have obtained event cargo by any means other than buying it from the starting base. This means there is no way to record data about the amount of cargo that has been intercepted in space and then delivered back to the interdiction point.
Alternate approaches are being investigated, and we may have a solution shortly (with thanks to @Skorak for assistance).
