ctc voys often get killed before they have even left the originating sector. Give them very high faction standing to penalize this action.

You mean Xang Xi and/or Ineubis standing?

or...

Just remove the idiot bots and make it a single connie.

You arent going to kill that in one sector!

LeberMac: Yes

CrazySpence: I am not trying to reduce the ability to attack. I am trying to balance the ability to defend. The station sector is problematic for a defender, if the attacker has high standing. If you cost the attacker standing, then the defender would be at greater liberty to act.

Realistically this would make sense. The Xang Xi just put a lot of work into this shipment, obviously they'd be pissed if you 'asploded' it. I think give the Serco bots like +500 XX standing but the courier ship(s) itself should get +750 or so XX standing.

This goes back to one of the longest-running broken things in this game: the Faction Standing issue.
