Better still, make the lower parts of the system the LSF guard system, so you have proper LSF bases and rules to destroy unauthorised contacts.
Personally, I don't think the Corsairs have any business in Liberty, other than escorting smugglers. They aren't friendly with anyone in the area, the closest group would be the Junkers. They probably don't have the resources to attack Liberty, without severely opening up their home defences for Hessian/Outcast attack.
Escorting a smuggler seems to be sort of contradictory to the whole "sneaking" thing... But that's my opinion.
Well... yeah - sending a smuggler with a couple of Titans in is sneaky, or a gunboat sneaking in and out isnt really that noticeable... 3 capships showing up is a military incursion and i agree.. and said earlier, that i dont think they would do that with all the threats at home. (well, unless someone RP"d some serious badblood with someone who was in Liberty, but i aint seen anyone do that)
There should be a battleship there to blast everyone, (If i could have a Liberty BS, i would happily HAPPILY RP that character and sit outside the minefield every time i was in game, warning people off or taking pot shots at them, and i say pot shots cos i almost never hit anything, but i digress) - but very often there are no players waiting there and in that case, the smugglers got lucky.
