If what I'm about to describe isn't a bug, I'm going to be disappointed.
Watchtower initial capture brigade caught me over Oborum III meeting the Hunter and Emissary. In interrupting this core game quest, they also kept me from docking with their ship, meaning my weapons stayed locked - normally they aren't unlocked until after you undock from the Guardian. So... didn't meet the Starborn, got captured, got rescued, looted the W' ship, went back to mine, undocked, discovered my weapons were useless, then got sacked by a bunch of Ecliptic. Not ideal. It took a few tries to dock with the Guardian in time.
Earlier on, the same fleet dropped in on my meeting my first Guardian over Neon. Also not ideal.
Recovery in both cases involved reloading a save.
Expected behavior: Watchtower shouldn't show up and attack you during normal game quests in orbit. Especially since some disable your weapons, or the attack comes while you're docked.
