GRN NPCs in Leeds

[Tachyon]

So what, entire battlegroups decided instead of securing the ways they got into Leeds they'd go hunting BAF ships and let the Brets build defences around the entrances to the system?

The way they got into leeds (considering my theory the edinburgh-leeds JH connection is pretty secure, since even, if there would be BAF breaching through that hole (if they know it's position) they would be counter by gaian resistance and by gallic forces emerging from the two battleships in Edinburgh, which are placed near the nebula.
Also, the BAF probalby wouldn't be able to launch an attack with sufficient forces to archieve a victory or even secure the JH, since they are busy defending the two gates in leeds to Tau31 and Edinburgh, also to mention Bretonia's military is still weakend from the war with Kusari.

The way Leeds has been designed at the moment is like a middle ground between two different directions the mod team could've taken. One was that no GRN were in Leeds yet. The other was that the GRN had established a bridgehead in Leeds. I think the latter of these should be implemented rather than having these GRN patrols in the system without anywhere to receive supplies from.

The gallics should have a bridgehead established in the near future, having a battleship or just a few supply satellites in a deserted region of the system would be enough.
Also, I doubt those patrols are just there for hunting Armed forces ships, possible reasons are:

- to show the BAF is unable to stop the GRN from getting this far, therefore it's an attack on a psychological level
- to force the BAF to drawback forces from their defences/distracting them for a short while in order to let more ships get into leeds (through the JH for example)
<strike>- to allow players in BS to NPC farm at easy places</strike>
