Why do you get to surrender but merchant ships never surrender to you? And why, once a fight has started, would a merchant see its ship destroyed rather than surrender, even when the end becomes obvious?

That’d be good. I could also see options to “surrender cargo” versus “unconditional surrender”, the latter leading to potential consequences for passengers, captain, etc.

All in all, I like how you can optimise your ship and crew almost completely to "running away". Suits smugglers and explorers very well. |

Today I ran into a military officer and my only option was 'fight'. I wish I could have surrendered but no, he preferred to wreck my ship, kill some crew, confiscate my cargo and then let me go.
"Why couldn't we skip that 'wrecking-my-ship' part? I would have surrendered to you", I asked him before he departed.
He smiled: "My gunners were bored."

Yeah, Jettison Cargo is not working against a military officer. Skip off the void is a level 11 talent, this captain and his crew are not that experienced yet.
I know all about the talents, it didn't help me in this situation.

If you're looking to get off with a Military Officer, get Stiff Salute.
Full avoidance is a strat you have to invest in, it can't be achieved by a single Talent or Job.
