You know how the game asks you if you really want to attack a fleet of a faction that knows your identity, warning you that it will instantly make that faction hostile? That's a good feature, but there's one problem - it doesn't work in a certain situation.

I got stopped by a Hegemony patrol, forgetting that my transponder is off. By accident, I've refused to turn it on. At this moment, I got stuck in a situation where I had no choice but to become hostile to Hegemony - since my fleet is too large to escape, the only option I have is to fight them. Trouble is, the game tells you that this patrol is aware of your identity (due to seeing you earlier), but only after you choose to refuse to turn on the transponder.

It would be nice if the game warned you about the consequences before you refuse to turn on the transponder and get yourself into predicament with no choice but to utterly ruin your reputation with a faction.

Yep, the missclick is very worst in the case, these two buttons are too near, this is illogic than when we engage a no-hostile faction, we go hostile, but not when we refuse to turn on our transponder where this is probable than you have missed. On the case or yes, you want really refuse, well, no problem no?

Just put a warning when we refuse to turn on the transponder ;'(


Thank you!

I've suggested it before and I'll suggest it again; swap the dialogue options so mashing 1 three times gets you out of the dialogue without incident

For what its worth, we already have a popup like this when attacking a non-hostile fleet: the game warns you that you will turn the relevant faction hostile if you do so.

I think this isnt a bad idea.
