Maybe after a shock or two, they would learn to avoid the player and let us all co exist peacefully? If there is no provocation, there shouldn't be an attack, I think. What would be better is to have a defense system or mechanism, maybe a small electrical charge? That would allow the player some protection. I don't want to imagine a biome full of dead creatures floating away and rotting. Or that a dead creature does not look nice in game. But what was not good is that I could not even scan it once dead. The way I did it was because I panicked at having a crawler jump at me, so I grabbed the only weapon I had, and slashed at it. I discovered that it is possible to kill some of the small aggressive species with just the common knife.

I agree with Klinn that the fear of getting killed, or the desire to not be killed can prompt the ' kill everything' mentality.Thinking about this issue made me realize that I suffered it already, and I did not like it, but, like I said somewhere else, better they than I. I haven't been able to find the blueprints for the propulsion cannon or the stasis rifle yet, so, yes, I'd love to have any of these as part of the life pods basic equipment.
