Come to think about it, if I were interested in a far away world inhabited by a species that shoots first I would send a soul less, robotic semi creature to take the risks. The question that arises is why not send a robot that is totally mechanical and that does not require special life support? Perhaps they are so advanced that their propulsion systems and life support systems can be trivially implemented. Who knows what we will be capable of in a million years?
This is not to suggest that I believe in extraterrestrials. I am merely speculating about how they might behave.

There are some who might believe that extraterrestrials have already realized such an advantage in the case of"Grey Aliens" !
