I'm not sympathetic to people who go out of their way to ruin my fun just for the sake of ruining it. And given the strategic layout of the map at the time the LCA started their griefing, they are either a bunch of strategic idiots, or were in fact attacking the FT bases for the sole reason of ruining my fun. I'm thinking it was the latter, although I won't rule out any possibilities.
Launch a mission to anywhere else and you really don't have this problem. Hoarach, or any furballer for that matter, could care less if you take any other base. Launch one against a FT area that many from all countries are enjoying, and you are going to find a situation exactly like happened tonight - all three countries, even the mission's own one, cooperating to end that mission, so that we can all go back to having our own fun, in our own little corner, not intruding on your's.
