Well after beeing in at least 5 convoy events I tend to agree that the convoy should just sit still and fire as well... IF some 20% of the defenders are destroyed.. or attackers are down to some 3 ships. The convoy can be attacked and can start to move using thruster.
I also thing that the idea of losing a base here and getting a new one somewhere else is reasonable. That way it would not matter so much who will win... but it will do something anyway... just agree on what should be lost/won.
I'm all for at least one pirate base of either side in Omega 15. There are even obvious locations for that.. the northern cloud for RH and the eastern for Corsairs.
