Thanks for all the responses guys. Seems he was also using it as chaff, but he also killed himself 2x. It was fun. I was just happy to know my current defense of the home base was sufficient enough that he had to snipe. He could not stay near my base for more then a couple of seconds. I was also very happy to see who in my crew was bitch, or thought getting attacked was fun. Pleasantly surprised to find everyone was wary but overall happy that someone came out to visit us. Afterwards i installed some long range defenses.
