Well, as I said, my Freelancer would only be trying to get in if GMG ended up numerically shafted. I'm not quite comfortable with the Stinger like I am with the Crow or (*snicker*) Drone.
Why not just let some independents in and limit it - perhaps half as many independents as faction players at most? I understand limiting them because of the ramifications of this event (it's rare to see one that might affect future versions), but that'd allow some in without letting it get out of control.
