With this sort of thing, I'd almost expect some sort of larger-scaled response by the Caldari Navy. I would find it an fascinating in-game event if the Caldari declared war on the GSF in retaliation. Almost immersion-breaking to see no response from them. Great kick-off to Inferno, maybe? :D |

Oh? Only in the game for a year or so, and my history of past events is a bit... spotty. Something like this has happened before?

The Serpentis armada was wiped out and just happened to drop plenty of juicy X-Type and officer loot for the victorious BoB. As you might imagine, there were plenty of accusations of favoritism.
Seems like it'd be easy to avoid this sort of pitfall in future events. Though I guess it'd be difficult to avoid bringing up distasteful old reminders for longer-term players.
Edit: Still, just the simple response of the Caldari faction setting GSF/CFC as a semi-permanent -10 (as opposed to relying on the relatively broken sec status mechanic) would be an interesting development, even if they aren't tossing easily-smashed fleets into nullsec. |

Honestly, something as simple as setting the alliance (and current members, so no corp-dropping for the weekend to dodge it) as outlaws would have been perfectly reasonable. You don't have Empire NPCs trying to engage capsuleers then (as stated, they'd probably be outclassed), you just allow the highsec capsuleers to "defend their investments" without CONCORD stopping it. |
