Omicrons systems layout re-work.

[Echo 7-7]

Following on from the above, Omicron-74 needs to lose its Guard status, and the Theta-74 hole needs to get some real distance from FP9. Some bases in 74 would need to be shifted to other systems and/or change ownership.

Cayman plans are still very tentative and not ready for public release. However, four Zoner bases in the space of two adjoining systems is overkill; it's probable that one base each in Omega-50 and 49 will change hands to other local factions.

Lanz is really only useful as a place to park caps. No big loss there.

But both pueblo bonito and boa vista have RP associated with them. The people who administrate those bases aren't going to be happy.

You also didn't mention giving us anything new and interesting, just... moving or removing stuff we already have.

So your plan is... nerf all the things? :/

I think you mean Porto Novo. I welcome contact from the current station administrators if they have queries or complaints.

Moving around bases, particularly crossing between Lambda and 74, could potentially lead to interesting situations. Don't think of it like a nerf (because I'm not nerfing your imagination, which is the primary factor in roleplay), but more like Robin Hood: taking from a faction which has too much and giving it to faction(s) which could better use it to generate activity in the region.

So, are you suggesting that Lorraine connects to 81 specifically to reduce the number of jumps between Lorraine and Alpha / Tau-37, or for some other reason?

Indeed (a.k.a. "cut the amount of buffer systems", although you seem to be doing the exact opposite with the Alpha-Gamma path; I don't care about getting to Alpha, just the Taus).

You also need to take into account system size and distance between jump holes, not just the number of systems. The proposed Alpha-Gamma route is shorter overall, as it avoids Lambda, which is very large and mostly empty.
