I mean I dont like accusing people of any wrong doing but this does feel like meat gaming. The leader of HF was in Libgov and knew about its location and transfer from Citizen to Law Enforcement. Since the announcement wasnt public it dosent make sense for HF to attack a DSE IFFed base. Not that I care because the base is quite literally abandoned. have fun I guess.

It was a DSE base so I cannot fathom the intellectual morass that makes a Hellfire Legion do such a dumb thing. It smacks of "Just doing it for the giggles" dumb stuff we have had in the past.

I am disappointed that it was left to rot. Nothing was done to it. No supplies, no nothing. I had asked the purchaser to return it if they didn't need it.
I doubt if the mighty LibGov even sent scout out to defend it. Probably had no crew, no fuels, no repair commodities etc. In support I had placed 2x DSE Supertransports ready to haul supplies and a LNS Cap ship was on site ready to help defend.
NOTHING: No comms, no organised response. I am going to suggest this might have been a political decision.
Thinking on it for a bit, there wasn't really any way to know whose base it was since we couldn't dock on it. While the Legion has different standards, it's more or less the same approach the Navy would take had they found a PoB that refused them access as well, regardless of the actual IFF.
Also, I was told that the IFF wasn't changed when it realistically should have been, in this case due to the GMs. With a DSE IFF, which is set to neutral no-dock to the Legion ID, the station really wasn't show its true colors either, and should have been red if it had been showing off the LPI IFF it was supposed to have. This is all assuming it wasn't on defmode 4 or something, and I'm not pointing blame. Still, I don't think it would've been entirely outside of the realm of possibility.

As far as I can tell, the sale was made ooRPly, which I can't in good grace treat as a valid reason for [HF] to know about the base's ownership inRPly. If there's a thread I'm missing, feel free to point it out, but otherwise I just feel like it really should be treated as an unknown owner case, which is well within reason to treat the base as potentially hostile.

This is not a roleplay post.

I'm going to suggest that nobody in Libgov knew anything about what went on with that station. It was out of sight, out of mind, and entirely the responsibility of the purchaser to supply it. It died before ships could even make it to Alberta, due to a lack of fuel and repairs. Please don't place the failure of the purchaser to supply their station on the members of the Government or the lawful playerbase at-large.

You serious? It was very evidently taken over by a department of the Liberty Government. There is RP correspondence affirming transfer. LSF were supposed to be responsible and they had a long time to keep the base supplied. The LibGov knew what was going on all right. The siphoned mucho peso's from it.
