Alaska Opinion Poll - AdamantineFist - 05-08-2008
Alrighty now, here's my answers to the above questions:
1) Just LSF, Liberty Navy (although exceptions can obviously be made, but only for very good reasons. It is, after all, a top-secret military system)
2) Liberty Battleships/Dreadnoughts
3) Make all Liberty NPC's (Guard) type
These were the ones I found most pressing. However, for 3, I also say remove the BHG guys. They don't really have any business in the super-secret military system. Add a few more weapons platforms on the Alaska side of the gate, too.
Now, as to the suggestion to plop a jumphole to Alaska in Iota, why not Omicron Lost? It would finally give the system a use, as it's now pretty empty. It's also more neutral ground, Nomad-Order wise, rather than the Nomads' home system. It's also, you know, "lost": unknown to most.
Now, Order should be able to access Alaska, in my opinion, and also have the occasional sortie into NY, but only if it's a large, in-RP force. It's always possible that the Order could get their hands on the codes to the gate. They are, after all, a super-secret shadowy military organization dedicated to protecting humanity from alien threats beyond our comprehension. I think they have the resources to get the gate codes. Of course, getting these codes wouldn't be a piece of cake, and as they're always changing, these sort of attacks would be rare.
EDIT: AAARRRGGHH!!! Just about every time I post, I start a new page...

Omicron lost... umm interesting, and you would conect Minor to it?
Alaska Opinion Poll - Heartless - 05-08-2008
Maybe delta?
For instance:
NY (Home base) -> Alaska (Neighboring system) -> Lost
Minor (Home base) -> Delta (Neighboring system) -> Lost
could it be something like that? I think it makes sence, because then the Nomads would be closer to the Order yet have acces to Liberty.
Best Idea so far I think!

...that's how it works already... Lost connects to Delta...

Considering the distance from Kappa JH to Lost JH, we won't have issues with OORP arti smugglers.

That's actually a lot better than what I had proposed. Kudos for thinking of a use for that poor dejected system. If the jumpholes on both sides are in corners or something, it will make smuggling through there especially un-good, but for major RP strike forces still worth it. I like.

Yup. Delta's on lower left. Just put Alaska on top right, and presto! Insta-route.

I went in SP to test the proposed JH. First, FLCompanion isn't telling to go by Alaska anymore(cardi or Arti trade route), It is now showing something more RP.
Removed the JH to Alaska in Minor
JH to Alaska in O-lost, near the planet
JH to O-Lost in Alaska, at the same place as the old one

This is good, I think all of us so far have agreed on the Omi-Lost JH.
Now what to do in Alaska? Tighten security, get rid of the Bounty Hunters, put a stationary dreadnough near the gate on the Alaska side...
