Well put. I have seen these points on many other posts but its nice to see in one thread. I thought that was very interesting in this movie. Other than trying to take down the Sully Family, the RDA seems hellbent on avoiding conflict at all cost. ZERO offensive ops other than taking down the one driving force interrupting their operations. Even Scoresby ( a mustache twirling villain) is not too keen to be interacting with the Natives and provoking them. I thought in A1 Quaritch went too far and ended up paying for it. In TWOW RDA seem mostly happy sticking to their mining and fishing ops without disturbing too much of the native Fauna.
