dusty and dnicu have p much covered it I guess. This is the big thing we're working towards (although yeah, it's a legal and less-harmful alternative rather than a cure), it's the whole purpose of Atka Research Station. The Outcasts completely hate us in vanilla (iirc, it's us and the Corsairs mentioned on Malta's infocard, and us first).
I've always seen it as the thing that can never happen for Cryer, much like if the LWB actually got Stuttgart back or whatever it is other factions want to do. In RP it would irrevocably cripple the Outcasts overnight.
As for raising activity - probably not. As has been noticed, we're inactive as hell because turns out not many people want to play space pharmacists, and the Outcasts aren't logging in to do the million things they can already do.
That said - one thing that does make dudes log in is getting mad oorp. qf those guys who log on their corsairs during a gamma raid purely to make themselves mad about gamma raids. So maybe this huge affront to the Outcast's very existence would make some players who hold the Outcasts dear start logging in to prove a point and shout out to the world that they exist etc.
To the Outcast who says he never finds us to pirate - I've NEVER been pirated by an Outcast either ;( Always wanted Outcasts on our case more, but most players don't know/care about Cryer and we're small and nothing we tried ever got off the ground, not helped by the Outcast's own inactivity.
For what it's worth, the original idea, making the thing on Cryer playerbases, making it all expensive and risky etc, I would love the hell out of that and it would definitely boost our activity. As for the Outcasts though yeah, who knows.
And yeah in general if any guys wanting to drum up some Outcast activity want to involve us in any way we will bend over backwards to help
