The great Guard system cull

[Echo 7-7]

I am curious about this:

Faction Right 7. Official player factions have the right for the purpose of training to utilize a maximum of four (4) ships that are not normally allowed by their ID (These would normally be their adverseries' ships). This is subject to the following constraints:
- This can only apply to factions with guard systems.
- Names of the ships must be clearly different to emphasize their role as training ships.
- They cannot be used for any purpose except training and must not leave their guard system.
- Restricted to Fighters, Bombers, Freighters, Transports and Gunboats.
While not strictly necessary, the faction could host an event of some sort, with the capture or defection of the pilot and his ship being the central theme.

For factions that lose guard status on their home system, FR7 becomes defunct. However, this is not seen as problematic, since Connecticut is now universally accessible (which it was not at the time of FR7's inception). Factions wishing to hold simulated battles and/or combat under controlled conditions can simply use Connecticut, and have participants bring actual enemy ships, rather than OpFor-tagged training vessels.
