Got tiered with enemy AI having trouble with my explorer ships on their teritory so in my new game I stripped explorers from all weapons.

Because of that I can fly around without any problems as those are not considered a threat to other factions.

That got me thinking.

Maybe the initial explorer ship should be unarmed by default?
Not sure if for all factions as for Cravers it doesn't allign with their mentality.

But it does make a lot of sense that an exploration ship is just for exploration and doesn't have weapons.

If someone doesn't like that then they can always retrofit the ship and have any weapon on it in the same way that you can now remove weapons.

The question is which option should be default and in this way won't cost dust for retrofiting.

Maybe devs could make AI factions not offended by explorers ships' default weapons?

This would be nice.
