That's really an overly simplistic response to Global's complaint. The reason I see is That this is a living universe, (How else can you explain a Zoner Guard Faction taking sides in the Outcast/Corsiar conflict for example, that doesnt fit in with the NPC roleplay) Factions react to diffrent things. The Corsiars make thier money from the Artifacts trade, and the only place to make any money on artifacts is NY, so if LSF is going to use such tactics, then the Corsiars MUST respond, how could they not when the very lives of their children are at stake. If we say that The Corsairs dont have an intrest in Liberty, then Igiss might as well just take artifacts out of the game. No one would tell Outcasts that they cant escort Cardi shipments ( which they do just like Corsairs should. ) I don't see why LSF is so against Corsairs escorting Artifact shipments. If they can station a BC, a GB and a VHF next to the JG, why not? No wants the corsairs to be able to take care of themselves. Outcasts have Allies in Liberty, so they can go there, but Corsairs do not, so they can't, that seems unfair to me.
Also, LSF is a Navy force right, wouldnt be the police or border guards job to stop smugglers. You dont see the US Navy stopping Drug shippments, you see the Coast Guard and the DEA doing in, so mabye it's alittle OORP for LSF to be doing it.
