If OSI people have more questions than those already answered, we're ready to explain them.
Now, IMG drama.
First of all, you must remember being mean to IMG is Daumann's roleplay. Next thing is, it wasn't the first time IMG| was caught in Omega-11, or wasn't the first time when IMG showed DHC middlefinger in their actions, although DHC seeked earlier at least some sort of truce when it comes hostile actions - IMG| caught in Daumann mining fields in Omega-7 was spared and the case was treated with great leniency, IMG just had to deliver some Niobium at discounted price inRP to Daumann stockpiles on New Berlin, if I remember right. I can find links if you wish. Jack's character was thanking DHC personally, and short after that gesture of good will whole Omega-9 hype happened, involving quite vocal inRP statements against DHC directed to us, overall hostility, the usual stuff. Later IMG| was caught crossing our part of Omega-7 or Omega-11. Now, what could we think inRP? That it was an answer to our previous good will, pretty much inRP "fk u" message.
Such attitude is noticed, remembered and ensures the next time we deal with IMG| our answer is less and less polite and lenient. Let me add me here generally DHC- already treats IMG| very lenient, we didn't bounty them, we don't actively work to undermine their position in region etc, we limited ourselves to defending our turf - we do so from oorp reasons, to avoid drama which always arises from touching IMG, and frankly we have enough "anti-IMG oorp hate" accusations, skype drama etc.
Now, as I said earlier it wasn't the first time we got clear message from IMG side inRP - "fk u", and so we decided our answer will be harsh. Payments and generally prices in Discovery aren't exactly inRP things, so explanation that single pilot makes probably max few k hundreds credits a month cannot be used here - we all know if someone has free evening, decent transport and a group to fly with, he can make 200M or more in few hours. Ship in question has mounted CAU5, which costs almost 90M.
When it comes to Jack's complaint about blocking acces, that was planned from the beginning when sending that message - that only pilot in question will have acces to it. Imagine school bully threatening newcomer when his teacher isn't atound - that's the sort of roleplay which was thought to be most fitting to our lore and RP here.
"Nothing was posted, there is no such law" - that's true, and I admit it's our fault here that nothing was posted. We all are people busy with real life. However, point about "not being such a law" is a moot one, official Daumann faction posted message in comm channel, saying that fine (larger than normally due to previous interactions) for crossing our space is 30M. Similarily in the past some factions introduced ad hoc large fines (GRN's 500M comes to my mind, mind you though I don't know the details of the case). Prices aren't 100% inRP in this game, and we all know that it's possible to make 200M in single evening in this game with ore. Ship in question had also CAU5, which isn't the cheapest thing, too. All in all it's a good occasion indeed to prepare some Omega-11 law charter, but we didn't have to post it to demand that enormous 30M payment. It's roleplay, we caught IMG in our turf, we remembered how they repaid our earlier good will, and so we posted that message.
I tried to explain issues the best I could, if there's anything else you'd like to ask people, don't hesitate, I will do my best to explain decisions, steps taken and faction's roleplay direction.
