I'd suggest letting them attack organisations in border worlds within their ZoI, but limiting them to no ships larger than cruisers, which makes a lot of sense from an inRP point of view, they're meant to be patrol craft to keep large unlawful groups in check.
Still seems lopsided considering that various unlawfuls with bs access won't hesitate to use their heavies on a navy that is by rules disallowed to respond in kind. Encourages capspamming the navy if they ever get an upper hand considering the current state of grand cap balance, and I remember what it used to be like to fend off corsair bs hordes in nothing else but a few hessian cruisers and bombers, eventually you simply got steamrolled because you can't kill them fast enough. Doesn't really give you satisfaction, trust me.
Personally I'm leaning toward the idea of letting lawfuls shoot red on sight (read: after RP and with RP reasons) in their ZoI, but make screenshots outside of house space inadmissible as reports of breaking the law. It's annoying that admins would need to regulate that detail, but I agree when people say that cloaked liner spying is something that needs to go. I guess best case scenario is that we return the IDs to allow enforcing laws in house space + 1 system connection, and simply institute a rule that houses cannot enforce laws based on screenshots taken outside of house space (or take it even further and say houses cannot enforce laws outside of house space unless house police/navy IDed character witnesses the law being broken). This removes the strange situation of police catching smuggler in border world and wishing him good journey as he heads toward lawful space, but also means cloaked liner screenshotters go away and corps can do their corporate warfare as long as police isn't literally right next to them watching it.
DISCLAIMER: Just in case people jump to conclusions from me posting here, this post is my own opinion not that of the admin team.
