Certainly they'll fire warning shots but that's just it, warning shots. The Material Defenders know they can't fight GJ or Star Patrol and if the ship presses regardless of the warning shots, they have to back off. I'll edit that bit to be clearer.Whats the point of firing the warning shot? Its just getting them into trouble for nearly no gain.
(edit)
just to explain this a little bit further... the MD is presenting the "tough guy" picture.
Making their standard mode giving a warning at Police/Military and then always back down ruins this a little bit. ^^
Consider what would happen if you stood outside your front door and fired a "warning shot" at a police car that was driving up your laneway.
Now consider what would happen if you stood outside your front door and fired a "warning shot" at a LAAV that was driving up your laneway.
Either way, somebody is probably going to have to call your next-of-kin, and it would be your own fault for opening fire.
If this is the MD's standard operating procedure, then, yes, they're Boskos.
