Guard systems?

[cmfalconer]

i'm not a big fan of guard systems myself. for the most part they sit there just being unused. i would be for them if they served a better purpose...say...housing faction specific ships. BUT that being said, if i'm not mistaken, you can just put a new base in an existing system that is actually the factions home system i.e. NY for the liberty folks or NB for the rheinlanders and make that base affiliated with the guard faction so nobody can dock on it unless they are friendly with the guard factions.

making a guard system to do what can be done in the REAL home system is a waste to me. all those system could be made into thriving populated systems for all to enjoy and increase the RP potential of the mod.

rant over, sorry about that

Problem is the factions that already have a home system (read: fortress of solitude) and the ones that want one will whine about giving them up. Sorry Igiss, but the Guard systems aren't really a big draw for those of us who chose to stay unaffiliated. Instead of creating 20+ systems with nothing in them, make another Munich, a Newcastle, develop the Canadians, the Taus could use an update to their constructions, SOMETHING other than another system that doesn't allow people in...aka Vespucci, Hiroshima, etc. ooo, nice new system to explore, oh wait, 5 players coming to greet me...poof. "You shouldn't be here" after the shooting ends. what fun!
