That Auxo have still piracy lines in Kansas and Vespucci is an oversight after the system changes in the first place, PR sent. You don't have to pretend you have to siege anything.
Also, the Liberty Navy OFs who are purposefully not logging in to shoot their main enemies, and who's HC members are saying in unrelated discords how players of their IDs need to be ganked hard and proceed to play the other side are at the end of the day only hurting their own official factions. That one blatant outlier is with staff now.

@Haste This isn't enough IMO. Still, 2 weeks is way too long, and ratios are off it was like before I did the math. Unless you give gigantic buffs to weapons platforms it's way too lopsided. What you also have to realize is that EMP only is not enough - the attackers can still move right under the base and hunt down the defenders.
