Thank you for your invaluable input...

I do not speak on behalf of the LN, but I do have a LN character that I spend a great amount of time on and I disagree.
This post is disgusting, and insulting to the LN, and the hard work put out to improve it. If you are trying not to flame the LN, congrats, you didn't go a good job. For example

OH MEH GAWSH AN AVENGER IS UNDER FIRE! BREAK OUT THE FLEET!

Yes, becuase depicting the LN in that manner is in no way possible insulting somehow.

1. The LN rarely have caps out. In most cases, we stick to our fighters and bombers. It is the indie caps that come on, and still, even then, most are gunboats, a few are cruisers, a very limited number are battlecruisers, and practically none are dreadnoughts. In fact, it seems that lately, we are the ones having a problem with Indie pirates using caps, usually gunboats, though we have seen the occasional Spyglass.

2. No, we do not break out the fleet in case of a attack. As I said, we rarely use caps, and most of the time, the LN use bombers instead of caps. You shouldn't consider indie caps as part of the LN, since that's what it seems like.

3. If everyone was informed about this operation, it wouldn't work at all. I'm quite sure the problem wasn't halting the disguised informant, it was when the order to let him go was disobeyed. If you read that thread thoroughly, you would have seen that Vincent asked Cray to stop and leave the smuggler alone, a order which he disobeyed. Now at this point, Vincent has two choices: Somehow stop Cray from destroying the valuable informant, or letting the informant be destroyed.

4. Again, the problem is not Cray halting the smuggler and demanding a drop, it's when Cray disobeyed the order to stop.

5.1. Again, as I said, if you wanted to prevent a flame war, perhaps you could have phrased your rant in a better manner.
