Where as i agree with you that they dont pose too much of a threat, their aggressions towards us however should not go unpunished.
If we allow people to just attack us at will without a punishment, others might start to think we are weak, and try to take us out.
A faction also known as [RO] has been pirating ours and allied traders. They claim to be friendly with outcasts and their allies, but attack our traders and smugglers.
That has happened on two such occasions and i believe it needs looking into as well.
