I've had contact with two hostile alien races that I've talked about in various places on the forum. I recently had a hostile contact happen upon me at a jump point. If it was a spoiler race of some kind I don't want to know which one or anything, but I just want to understand the mechanics of what happened.
The first two hostile races(definite NPRs) were classified as a new race immediately. This contact was not, and Intel says it wasn't one of the previous two encountered either. Does this mean I've definitely contacted a spoiler race, or is it possible to have a hostile NPR contact and not have it added as a new race/new contact of a previously known race?
