Restricting a faction from using gates, lanes and jumpholes

[Jinx]

imo

- cannot use jumpholes / gates
- can dock in house space if access is appropriately RPed
- cannot use any ships but pure zoner vessels
- can only act in self defense

thats fine already but i d also like to see something along the following lines

- can only jump zoner ships ( no jumping of other faction ships )
- cannot jump other factions capital ships

the last one is a bit foggy, i guess - but it would be to prevent such a group from acting as a hub for an invasion by the rules - which protects others - but the faction itself from being accused to do so, too.

actually i d also like to have something like "cannot mount WEAPONS on their jumpships" but i guess that takes it a bit too far.



since we have a precident - i don t see ANY reason why JZ shouldn t get their own ID at some time - AND be allowed to dock 5k in house space, giving up regular jumpgate/hole travel appears a fair enough deal.

with all those custom IDs - not only this hypothetical one - but also the ones we just got - i m not sure why it needs to be "zoners" anymore.

those are not zoners - they are custom IDs for a reason - the reason being ... they are not zoners, they are different - hence, custom ID. - the only faction benefitting from the NPC zoner lore should be the generic zoner ID, all others can build on that lore, but shouldn t consider it "theirs" - its a heritage but thats where it ends -they moved on. so - yea, you can call yourself "jumping Zoners" - but you d be as much "zoners" as those gaians who are not about protecting Gaia anymoer - but are rather mere pirates under that gaian banner.


edit:

about becoming stranded without fuel without a refuel station - well.... i call tough luck and poor planning. - and the group in question would be forced to get a deal with a local cooperation - which may - if they are smart - rip them off. - free economy for the win. however - a faction that knows that it must always have enough fuel to get back to a refuel station should plan around that very crucial fact.


edit2:

and cause i do care about some minor things in that respect - i d love to restrict such a group from taking a Nephilim into house space - that shiptype is not supposed to go there - Aquillon is fine, Nephilim is not.
