Blah, that's just me rambling.yeah, i think that'd make sense. if both fleets are friendly, A might just be able to inform C of their identity (at least if C is close enough to be in reinforcement range) without enabling the transponder. if A isn't willing to provide identification (since a pirate's best bet would likely be to just not send anything) C would have good reason to believe that A is hostile.
on the other hand, if that's how it works, why can a fleet with disabled transponder not join someone else's battle themselves? that only makes sense if that fleet has no way of providing (or proving) its identity to the one they are trying to support. hmmmm.
