We can’t deploy super-secret stealth satellites that conveniently identify themselves when approached, but don’t belong to any design known to New Eden, either, but apparently someone did!
As for the Rattlesnake example… is that really such a massive difference in how we approach things? Human beings are naturally inclined to adhere to the norms of the society in which they live. That’s not a capsuleer thing, that’s a human thing. The society we live in says that in low-sec, anyone you don’t know is either a threat, or a target. Take a population of baseliners and remove them from a basically ‘safe’ society and put them into a similar environment, where everyone they come across is more likely than not looking to try to kill them. See how long it takes them to behave just the same way.
That’s not anything to do with us ‘as a class’. That’s us being perfectly normal human beings. Just because human beings suck doesn’t make us any worse than the rest.
Besides: are you going to seriously tell me that Luna insists on everyone holding fire in lowsec until the other guy demonstrates that they’re a threat? When she was Directrix of SFRIM, was that the standing order? Was anyone ever kicked out for such wanton murder?
