Some newbie questions.

Hi there!

White Owl, have you uploaded any of your videos? i tried searching for you on YT, but wasnt sure if this was your name there as well?

Try here.  Not a stalker, just had his videos bookmarked back when I started Kerbal Space Program.  (And back to it, as 0.22 was released yesterday.)

I think the arresting makes a lot of sense, you also don't know what you get so arresting a newcomer sounds reasonable in this setting.
Might be nice if there was a small chance of some resisting arrest and starting a fight or, as mentioned above, join outright?

But the arresting is a big step up from having to shoot them and then convince them to join you

In one practice game, not recorded, I had a wandering settler arrive and immediately join up. No shooting, no arresting. She just walked in, claimed a bed and started hauling stuff.

That's pretty normal, I think they're supposed to be other survivors from your ship.
