Moreover, would you say the means people go to to either siege or defend/supply (most) bases is conducive to "good roleplay"?
Nobody makes anybody go to do a Base Siege. That is up to the individual.
And I have seen some Role Play done around a Base Siege. Yet again that is also down to the individuals. Some will go to the siege just to destroy the Base regardless of any RP. Others will go with the sole purpose of RP but with little or no intent of destroying the Base.
Good Role Play is all a matter of perspective.
Some believe that good RP is going around looking for a fight, giving a couple of lines of conversation, and then shooting somebody and hopefully getting a kill. Is this good RP?
Others are happy just talking to others all day and either never firing a gun or doing it only after a lengthy talk. Is this good RP?
Some people want to build Bases and interact with others to help them build the Base. Is this good RP?
Others I have seen, will see some Miners/Traders in a System, log a character, pirate them, dock, log off and change to another Character. Is this good RP?
The possibilities are endless and you can ask 1000 people which of the above is good RP and you will get a split decision.
Your previous statements are your personal opinion or even the same opinion of like-minded individuals. It doesn't make it right or wrong. It just makes it an opinion.

Obviously they don't bring any good to you. But, you must remember, not everybody is not you.
I personally don't understand those people that want to go around all day and shoot other people. You can see them logging from one fight to the next fight and if they can't find a fight they go to Conn. But they get enjoyment out of it and so good luck to them.
People are different and this Game caters for a wide variety of tastes. Let each person, as long it is within the rules of the Game, enjoy the Game how they want.
'I would like to be half as clever as some people like to believe they are' Life is full of disappointments, it is how we handle them that helps to define us, as a person
