The outcome will be: the losing side loses an asset of huge proportion, upon which later story events will swing.
If the Oblique is destroyed, that means I view the civil war as going worse for the Council, and vice versa. A station that represents a large portion of that nation's fleet will be removed (read: Destroyed in the battle), and a nation's ability to project power vastly reduced.
Also, we hope, this event will be fun.
That's not exactly what i've meant. The Royalist side seems to be at a loss in both cases, with their 'victory' looking somewhat more of a neutral ground between the competing sides.
This is in no way a complain, i am merely interested in how the team - or someone in particular - came up with such a zero sum scenario.
Also, what if one of the sides is going to fail to achieve tgeir primary victory goal but fulfill the secondary? How things are going to unfold then? Will the system, perhaps, won't be entirely given up on by the side in that case?
Fun should be the very first point of it, everything else is secondary.
I hope to see the team actually fulfilling this goal.
