The simple truth is that CONCORD panicked, and abused the combat-readiness capabilites of the gang of pod pilots who responded to the Inspectors' wild hysterics in local.
Action was promised, yet none was had (with the exception of the GoonFleet).
Rewards were also promised, yet none were given to (most of) those who responded to CONCORD's call.
Thus, we pod pilots took matters into our own hands.
What matters here is that a group of pilots took it upon themselves to exact revenge for perceived grievances. They decided to exact their revenge upon the legal authorities that have long been sanctioned and endorsed by the very governments to which you owe your allegiances. This was not a matter of taking "matters into [your] own hands:" this was that a group of people undertook it upon themselves to exact vigilante justice for a perceived slight.
If you had really been so desperate as for payment, you should have had the good sense to file a petition with CONCORD. Evidently you had the chat logs, since you've displayed at least one with us, so you could have very easily filed a petition claiming a reward based on the statements of the CONCORD Inspectors. However, you acted as a mindless rabble, your actions denying any chance at a reward.
The fact that CONCORD was dealing with a mothership-class vessel means that there was a tactical situation which CONCORD evidently felt unable to deal with. (After all, we are dealing with a substantial difference between one of these vessels and, for example, an Arbitrator.) Their calling upon capsule pilots for military assistance means that they were acting therefore according to procedure, deputizing a group of pilots to act on their behalf in this matter.
You did nothing short of abusing this deputization, misusing it for your own personal gains. I feel sickened to even be of the same race as those of you who call yourself Deteis.
On a brighter note, I suspect that pirates will welcome you to their ranks with open arms.
