I vote yes on Mace's idea, no on Ilikestuffnthings' idea.

The latter is far too easy to loophole and exploit. For example, if it goes through, Prometheus will henceforth carry at least one civilian on each of their naval vessels. That way, nobody can legally fire on their ships without being forced to face the consequences. Also, I think it's a little too extreme. If anything, navies would just learn to attack civilian populations in such a way that they couldn't be proven to have been the oe that did it (unmarked ships, destroy the evidence, etc. etc.).
