Admin Notice: Factions

[AeternusDoleo]

How about removing policing powers from Military IDs?

Requires: Police faction ZoI needs to be expanded to include the borderworlds of the houses - traditionally the Navies patrol these to hunt for criminals, but if those can't hit smugglers, and the Police ZoI is not included in it, then smugglers have a rule based immunity in those areas (which technically is correct - systems not under house law have no contraband restrictions).
Not a bad thing, but the only reason to play military over police in that case, is to use battleboats.

As for this whole poohah about factions dying: If there's no interest to play in organised factions anymore, why try to force people into that? If the playerbase prefers to do things outside a faction for the moment, so be it. New playerfactions can form once there's sufficient people to want to do so.
