I never implied the base was small in size, what I did state was that TAW has many other bases scattered all over the place as you can clearly see in this screenshot.
9 bases on Imperium alone and several others, the loss of this base would not have affected TAW in a way that would have caused the entire factions gameplay to be ruined.
Any reasonable, unbiased person can conclude that the loss of 1 base out of the many that they have would not have ruined the gameplay of an entire faction.
You may as well have just used the old [CURRENT YEAR] argument here, “we are a community” is not relevant to the point.
One person was involved in this so that isn’t an argument.
As the rules say:
“If you think you have a thief in your own faction, it is your responsibility to protect / keep track of your property and asset. We CAN’T help with inter gameplay (ie. faction politics), being that there are so many players.”
TAW made no attempt to protect their assets and they lost as a result of it.
I’ve played on servers where this was allowed and the state of factions was nowhere near what you described.
