It's not that simple because of this rule:

As I discussed here, this allows for ridiculous sights with dubious, if any, RP justification. The only outside attackers/helpers on this siege should be Zoners at maximum because they'd take the advantage to strike the navy, and that's it. Coalition, Rogues, and other unlawfuls have no business (indirectly) attacking an installation. Hired mercenaries make sense because they're paid to do it.
Excuses like "They owe me one" or "I put some bounties up" are not valid justifications. it is as absurd as me coding a bot that scrapes the API and automatically bounties every single ship that logs in. It's a bypass.
Defender side actually made some valid RP - some agreed, some didn't, which is good. However, absurdities like a coalition carrier in Liberty's gutter assisting the destruction of an independent base makes absolute no sense at all and is indeed four dimensional mental gymnastics.
