Irply it makes zero sense to fly a cap fleet through the Tau warzone to Coronado to "secure trade route" when Tau zone is described as "really hot" during the event. It would just not happen, so don't try to justify it irply, seriously: that's ridiculous.
You are distracting from the actual flow of the story. And that's totally unnecessary in terms of gameplay. And that's what I feedbacked and asked why this is necessary if you could also just be the "real" opposing force, as at least quite a good portion of you also have GRNs, so you could participate in the event "as it was planned out".
