Then tell me how the gallente will stop the caldari from simply firing a doomsday into Luminaires upper atmosphere?
Oh, of course they won't. CCP Falcon is about to, yet again show his clear bias towards his favorite factions.
Seriously, I thought TonyG was bad, but at least he was a horribly bad experience for everyone and didn't go out of his way to stack shit into any particular factions favour.
So what if they don't? That's the gamble the Gallente are taking if they engage the Home Fleet, they're calling the Caldari bluff. I don't see this as clear bias on Falcon's part, I see him working with what he's got.
We've got a Titan, in orbit, over a single planet, holding hostages while surrounded by entirely hostile space - a device put in place by He Who Shall Not Be Named. The reality of the situation is something is poised to happen that is going to end poorly for both sides on some level.
If the Gallente call the Caldari bluff and the Caldari stick to their guns, there will be much civilian death. If the Gallente don't call their bluff and the Titan remains in orbit, then we continue to have this stand-off situation until God knows when that, in reality, doesn't make logical sense on either side of the fence.
