You talk about "RP logic" but you don't think do your acts have some "logic"? Like, how you inRP knew of that? Asking OOC-ly doesen't justifies your acts though.
Nobody asked me really if I wanted that to happen. But they asked Foxglove. (against whom, I don't have anything bad to think regarding that)
We didn't ask. We were offered to interrupt a deal that was taking place in a system we used to base from. I'm pretty sure I clarified that for you already.
To reiterate the point of the original question however, it would be extremely unlikely for you to successfully conduct an operation on Wichita without us or the Legion catching wind, more-so the former as we've got an outpost planetside. Frankly, I don't have a problem with what you choose to do, but it will raise questions and those questions need to be asked at one point or another.
I'm not going to compare it to someone attempting to infiltrate Alaska or land on Schatten undetected, because it isn't the same thing or remotely close, but there is still that element of people - hostile people - operating in that area, that while you've been interrogating traffic for (which is pretty smart to do, by the way) won't yield a lot of answers, especially not for instance the location of our outpost there.
Now I'm acutely aware that this isn't what you're after, but what my concern and @"Auzari"'s concern is - would you/will you actively take into consideration the significant presence of people the Commune is effectively at war with being in the area? Additionally, how to you expect to successfully approach a location that's heavily monitored for traffic due to the faction operating the outpost (us) being extremely paranoid about the last time they were operating there? (Read the lore for reference of 'last time')
I dont want tl be too involved in feedback threads but you and Auzuri are both speaking ss if Auxesia had a NPC faction in the system and there is more of you inrp than there actually is which could also be seen as powergamey. Having claims without anything to back your claims up is weak but thank you for the feedback.
Discrediting the RP of an official faction because it doesn't have an NPC faction that it represents is a strawman argument afaik. The RP was done with other official factions, including a shared lab with the IRG.
Be that as it may, there's still the Xenos and HF in the system.
EDIT: And technically speaking by your logic, any faction that doesn't have an NPC faction representing it wouldn't matter.
So by that standard, the HF wouldn't have mattered when they were Lane Hackers, because they RP'd as a separate entity and not as actual Lane Hackers.
The IRG's RP wouldn't matter, because 99% of the Zoners are not IRG, and most Zoners aren't even part of the same group.
The Commune considers themselves to be a separate entity from the Outcasts. By that logic, since there's no Commune NPCs, they'd have no RP to back up their positions either. You're essentially saying that RP by factions not represented by NPCs is invalid. Would that technically mean that the CR's roleplay before they became NPCs was invalid, too? What about the Reapers of Sirius?
