Yes, but in some cases there may be PSB reasons to get at least SOME
warning that you are about to be fired on -  "They're opening gunports,
Sir...", "Massive energy spike from enemy vessel - they're charging
their
weapons..." "We're being painted by a targetting sensor..."
I'm not saying any or all will necessarily apply to the GZG-verse, but

can usually think up an excuse for most things.... :-)
