CONCORD aggression from attacking drones

I fired on a drone and CONCORD attacked me! Why?

Drones are the registered property of their respective owners, and attacking them constitutes an attack on the owner himself. If left for too long in the depths of space a drone may lose this connection to its owner, but there is no guarantee that this will happen.

When you're under fire, and you're not the initiator of the fight, you are free to shoot the other player's drones to pieces. But when you stumble on an abandoned drone just floating around in space, firing on it will make you the aggressor. In high security space, you are going to be in trouble.

Note that since drones are relatively cheap, going through all this trouble just to incapacitate one and scoop it up may not be worth it. If you really want one without any risk or hassle, simply check the market.
