Yes it's a problem of wording.( when you read the first line where you can attack any ships excepted transports, compared to the third one where it is not stated that transport are an exeption)

Cool, bestest ID ever.

Now to the problem:
The whole thing might be a bit confusing, so Ill try to explain it somehow.
Right now you seem to set "Can attack X anywhere" equal to "-May treat X as combat target".
Only the second line would allow you to shoot a transport without a demand because you can "treat it as combat target". This means 3.3 can be ignored.
The "Can attack X anywhere" line however means that you are allowed to attack the ship out of your ZOI, however it does not allow you to shoot it on sight, it merely specifies that you are able to go after your worst enemy even if you meet it out of your ZOI. This means that a demand is still necessary should you encounter a transport.


So in case of the LWB ID this means: You are allowed to attack a Synth Foods ship out of your ZOI, but have to make a demand if its a transport.
You are allowed to shoot EVERY ship that carries ugly Synth things without a demand.

Hope that clears this up a bit.
