Reapers Of sirius

[Sabru]

Lets break this down to clear points.

1. the suggestion of it becoming a zoner system......

there's a couple of problems with that. firstly, who would administer it?
All three official factions already have a system that they either own (TAZ and Baffin) or watch over in an unofficial manner. (Phoenix and 74, OSI and 49)

Handing the system over to the run of the mill zoner indie? pointless. It would only give a basis for the more pvp-orientated zoner indies to cause trouble with and around.

Secondly, it would cause friction between zoners and all the surrounding factions. Especially if the system was floded by zoner caps wanting to shoot stuff. Despite what some believe, diplomacy for the official factions are quite a balancing act.

EDIT: You just had a civil war of sorts in O74, and a massive invasion by and war against Corsairs, Order, Core and lots of other people. Zoners can always create trouble, you don't need any more assets for that. You can build your own.

fun fact: at one point during the second round of ZA loldom, we actually considered asking the admins and devs to enact an OC civil war style scenario just so we could purge ZA from the system. ZA went quiet again before that could go any further than discussions. go figure on that.

now back to topic....

if reapers were to be scrapped completely like the phooms, caymand could make a nice battleground system where Coalition/hessians/sairs et al fight to control the bases. (maybe like 1 base each).
