I don't find this to be a fun feature. Once in a great while having suicidal nuts hell bent on killing as many people as they can before they are killed, might add something to the game. but every 3 to 4 landing, is crazy and not fun, IMHO.

My favorite tactic against them is to put landing pads inside an enclosure. When a ship lands, disable the airlock and they'll have nowhere to go and you can just wait for them to suffocate.

Same here. I build around the landing pad and starport. then build around another landing pad. So while freighters are loading, I can turn on the other pad and get workers. Still, intruders are an unneeded annoyance.

I agree. (They're even worse in Dawn of Man)

Dawn of Man, I agree. The raiders are not needed. Some times I just want a mellow game without having to kill stuff for bizarre reason like, a bunch of crazies just want to kill others.
