I do hope you realize that science doesn’t work in an echo chamber and when somebody challenges your ideas you resort to name calling. I have tried to reason with you and I came here with an open mind but when you get a hard question you resort to insults. I think that whatever attacked these drifters will come for us next and I don’t plan on being around for that. You are kicking up a hornets nest and I fesr for the safety of the cluster due to your incompetence. ---

So salty about the demolition of a piloted Astrahus. You should try soloing one, perhaps.

You continue to bring that up as if it’s a gotcha when you have done or said nothing to show how I’m wrong. You continue to attack the drifters, in their own space, and in out, regardless of if they are hostile or not. The only language to speak is that of a small gun ---

Sanxing’s Astrahus and Soter’s Theseus Station were both piloted. Though I have friends I do not have to pay to fly with me to destroy Capsuleer assets. ---

What a positive torrent of messages. So many willing to peacefully study Drifters, attempt to communicate and all. It is quite sad that such things only appear after a major event occurs. Give it a few weeks where the study begins in the aftermath of action, and silence falls. ---

If you weren’t paying attention, I’m in the camp here trying to _avoid_ needless bloodshed in these encounters, favoring the peaceful study approach until we know more about the Drifters, their intentions, motivations and so on. Something pissed them off to the point where they attacked SoE researchers and Jammies herself. This should be _avoided_ in the future, preferably. ---

There are a thousand Observatory systems, with as many as a hundred of those at any time being host to Drifter salvage operations. While ARC _does_ take a somewhat more aggressive view to its operations, there’s nothing to say those wishing communication and peace couldn’t attempt such a thing in any of the hundreds of locations where ARC operations _aren’t_ on-going. ---
