If you own an alien ship, will that race recognize you as one of their own, a delayed death until they figure out who you are, or immediate recognition?asked by Avitus

To be honest with you we really haven't thought about that, you're not likely in the near future to be in the Xi'an scout and coming up against Xi'an raiders are going to attack you, because the Xi'an are more to the edges of the UEE so we're going to be building out some of the interior parts first. I don't think they would necessarily recognize you as one of their own, they would probably know the Xi'an ship you're flying is the human modified sale one, what the Scout we're doing is. Then if you're on territory you shouldn't be then maybe they would do something about it. They may potentially be a little more friendly or predisposed to you because bought something that uses their technology.In general, the Xi'an don't fire on sight against humans. For instance even though there's a bit of a stand off if you want to think of it a bit like China and America, trade together but maybe there's some idealistic differences and they kind of distrust each other but still work together pretty closely. I think that would be a good analogy for the Xi'an empire. I think if you run across Vanduul flying a captured Scythe or a Glaive, generally they would know from the scan if you're Vanduul or not. Probably go after you in fairly short order although if you had a captured one that was rigged to spoof being part of a Vanduul clan, then perhaps you may be able to slip through or slip by. We haven't really fleshed that out yet.
