1) It is very clear to the people who helped in Kepler who did this. Any accusations that BD| had theirs hands in this ooRPly are not needed.
2) While I prefer to actually RP around the discovery of a pob before deciding to siege it (that includes in form of an Operative or whatsoever finding out who really owns it. It displays as neutral to BD so I personally would have been more curious.), it is fully within their right to launch and play the siege out the way they do there. Overall PoBs are one of the major sources for issues in this community, the way they work is harmful to Disco and either the rework of PoBs brings considerable change or they should be outright removed. This is a general issue, nothing BD causes here by just "going with the flow".
To the BD Leadership: I am up to assist you with advices in regards of ways to RP around PoBs, while 1-2 posts are fully sufficient for the rules, I know we (actually all here, not just BD) have the potential to do better looking RP.
