Cant really speak for the numbers, wold have to do a bit more than just look at the St.Danieles post, but the way I see it the Beaumont Spire specificaly was a victim of it's owner's RP. Bases are not invincible and such things should be kept in mind. Broadcasting publicly, to the whole sirius about your base in border region outside of direct house protection that BMM has a base next to a former IMG station which BMM and Bretonia tried to take over, and saying in said broadcast you're salvaging it, is inviting the disaster.
The way the base suddenly changed hands to junkers when IMG started asking questions was cringe and the attempt to play it off like it's not a big deal instead of actually trIng to appease the Guild, maybe offer some terms which would be acceptable to both sides, weren't particularly smart RP either.
I thought people have learned their lesson about public broadcastsfrom bases outside of house space after the Quantum situation but I guess I was wrong. I'm sorry but ever since the base was sold off by Leo, every single decision made by the new owners was a wrong one. And the base paid for it.
