I am against playerfactions buying systems.
As far as I have seen, after a faction buys and then mods a system, for all intents and purposes, It drops off the RP map, because factions do such things as set their guard system to be an invincible fortress....and then, no one ever uses it but that faction. Much more positive, for the general rp, sort of addition would be a bit of an expansion, the way cultures with empty space nearby are wont to expand.
As I see it, over 3 or 5 mod releases, the 3 canadian systems can be slowly modded, to be a fresh expansion of liberty.
The first release, will include the planets, and asteroid fields, maybe an occasional IMG or DSE 'exploratory' or 'survey' patrols.
Next release, the IMG/DSE patrols have gained more influence, and are centered around infrastructure projects: the DSE around a few new mining bases just outside the asteroid fields, and DSE around a tradelane project.
Next release: one planet has the beginnings of a Planetform project, with a possible custom background, (a geodesic dome, because of hostile environment) it buys planetforming gass and alien organisms at a premium, selling nothing. The other is rather more livable, with a bare bones LPI(civilians) settlement. A hacker base is hiding in one of the asteroid fields now, and possibly the xenos are fighting the IMG.
Next release: about half of the Tradelane rings work, like in tau 31. (no war here, things are moving along) Gate projects have started, and a new Ageria base has grown up orbiting the Plantform world. Rogues have moved in, and created their own base in the far system, perhaps meeting up with some gaians, who are fighting the planetform base.
Next release: Most of the gates work, lanes are 75% operational and the Navy has moved in a battleship, to defend the LPI world and the new Interspace shipping platform from the Xeno and Rogue raids. Planetform world is defended by navy patrols, and swarms of bounty hunters (like cali minor) from gaians, hackers, and whoever else is in the area.
Next release: all gates and all lanes are operational, a new lane is being put up to connect the planetform world to a new (just discovered) mineable zone, a shipyard is being built nearby, to take advantage of the nearby resources.
Final release: everything up and running, a decent new addition to the RP.
