I hate to say it, and you know this is true, one of the most broken powerplay issues i have is the "faction special weapon/module" I'd doubt you'd be saying it was targeted if you didn't have every tom and harry coming to your camp for prismatics. They really need to give those in other ways.
Aisling here also. Every time we start to gain traction, we're cut down by collusion piracy undermining us from inside. It's immensely frustrating to build a decent economy and have it ruined by what is serious enough for FDev to notice. It was definitely targeted.
