Duan Mingyuan felt that this era was becoming more and more magical.
If you declared your identity and intentions based on principles of peace and friendship, they would steal your supplies, kidnap you and your crew, and demand a hefty ransom from the planet you belonged to.
If you killed their people, letting battle robots bring back the deceased's military tags, they would seriously consider your suggestions instead.
Of course, some were more extreme, beheading the bandits after killing them and hanging their heads on stakes at the entrance of the village as a deterrent, but that was a bit too extreme. Duan Mingyuan and the crew of the Ranger were clearly not a group of extremists.
