I just find the reasoning suspect, "Uh oh, they might make cap ship or a station like all the other alliances, we need to go and attack..."
Not ask... but ATTACK, and then POS spam after you figured out there's nothing there, your Reasons to attack are a little shaky.
I know this is a PvP game, but CVA and UK are Roleplaying alliances, which is cool, so you'd think you'd need more than "It's a PvP game" to go to war.
You have it a little backwards there so let me clear it up for you since I am in command of the intel gathering wing that picked that system. We noticed an increase in bubble camps in that system suddenly when our raiding parties passed through. We checked your POS in the systems in the area and found what we see to be an abnormally high number of hangars in one of your pos. We assume a stockpile for cap ship production or outpost construction. We attack to stop you from doing whatever it was you were doing with those hangars. At the very least it looked like a tasty supply base. All of that means it is a valid target.
You speak as though we have been neutral all the while and were looking for a reason to open hostilities. We have been hostile since the first word of your assistance to the CVA reached our ears. Your people have raided our space in the past with the CVA in joint gangs and you have helped them defend their space from us.
Now you think we should have asked if you were building anything? And if not then we have no reason to attack? Seriously now... No one ever askes an enemy to reveal a potentially juicy target like an outpost stockpile because we would not get an honest answer if it was and tip our hand to an attack.
And just because that was not the case after the fact doesn't mean we should not have attacked anyway. You are, as I said, an enemy and friend of an enemy. Any attack is justified so it is not like we broke some unwritten rule.
Hope that clears up the real reason why we attacked. Not just because we were bored and looking for something to do and cooked up false reasons to take down a POS of yours. We have reason enough given your hostile status.
