The reason why we want Ontario is because it is close to liberty (JH to California. There is no other empty system around Liberty. Unless Admins aprove to make one connecting with NY or Cali.
We really want that system, But as I said it could be splitted in two parts ( which should be close to reality since you can go close to military facilities but you can't go in it ) and Guard NPC will stay inside the base perimetter. Outside of it everything would be like a vanilla system with trade, base, normal NPCs encounter.
PS: Btw I didn't even know that so much pirates were passing there lol
