So is this (see thread) intentional?

[Izu Riekon]

I agree that this makes little sense. It is a bit like having diplomatic immunity simply based on what ship they fly. Not only this but the rule can suddenly change depending on what actions that transport pilot takes (this comes back to the thread where a transport is not a transport if it starts pirating). This situation can be abused as a transport can fly behind enemy lines as a transport, start pirating, and then fly back over those same lines as a transport as the first group of players has no idea what the transport was doing in another system.

It need clarifying. Hostile should mean hostile. A simple "Engaging enemy faction transport" should be enough.
