Just because someone on the forum said that’s the reason doesn’t make it the only reason. Far more importantly, these rats have started attacking Citadels. With the sudden onslaught of disposable citadels springing up all over New Eden, a system of removal for junk citadels had to be created. Suddenly there are strangely high damage (enough to re-enforce a citadel timer) rats floating around that blow up anything not nailed down or defended. I think it’s quite obviously not really about making players team up, rather about cleaning up after us with an added bonus of more engaging NPC around the place generally.
