It sucks that the base which has been useful and provided positive impact to the community is going to be sieged and potentially destroyed, but that is part of the game.
The one issue I have with this is that the Corsairs are somehow being dragged into this, but whatever... as a consequence the Corsairs should loose Athos. I say that as a longtime and current Corsair player. There should be consequences for factions committing asinine amounts to resources to continued base sieges.
The destruction of Athos would be a very appropriate development due to the circumstances.
