Perhaps maintaining SDI and a decent level of spies/troops, and even keeping a few turns onhand, ought to be considered part of doing business on the server. An overhead cost.
There's sometimes a mentality that people expect to play a wargame with no threat of war. They convince themselves that saving the overhead expenses is not a roll of the dice, a high-risk chance, and then are shocked when somebody exploits their low defences, as though on this server there is a mod given right to stand exempt from warfare (unless it involves farming smaller tags/the untagged).
Now I hate random strikes as much as anybody. I do not know if this attack was random, if Rival had made indications beforehand that they would gun for EVO or LCN. I do not think people should do this. Escalate a legit grievance and make a big deal to build up to war. At least have something of a reason.
