And who says it was OORP? Is there a rule? It was a pivotal part of the RP of a string of miners pubs and taverns, very deliberately done, if not as sensibly executed. I actually don't care if people say it was OORP because it was in RP and I'd do again. There was a huge amount of interest in them. Ingame RP base text messages (PM) were wonderfully efficient. It was original, it was different, it worked. It was an effective marketing strategy.
BTW It was never a Junker affiliated Base - it was AI.
