Part of me hates to respond and risk encouraging further visible tantrums...however I do have a question.

At what point can you honestly say you value life when you undock, in ships that require crew beyond yourself, that are unarmed?
At some point continuing to operate under your normal procedures, and consciously choosing to let your crews die, puts you at just as much fault as the person shooting you.

I realize when most people are confronted with this idea they simply wave it off with "the crew knows the risks when they sign up" but lets be honest, when combat records begin to propagate through the crew pools you're going to see a decrease in truly willing crew members. I can only imagine how desperate a person would be to, in this case, sign up for certain death, to have a standard crew wage paid to their beneficiaries. I'd go so far as to say that if such things continue, I don't see how willing crew would be easy to find, and that despite all the ideals espoused by DSTON pilots...you'd essentially have to coerce or otherwise press unwilling crew into service, or scale your operations back to skeleton crewed frigates.

Right, i will make my post OOC to get the point across.
