House, Military, Police and Intelligence IDs

[jammi]

2 means they can attack anything that is diplomatically hostile - so Corsairs, Gaians, pirates, whatever. 5 means they can attack ships belonging to diplomatically hostile Houses.

So currently, if a GRN ship was in Omega 3 (for some reason), the BAF could go and attack it without worrying because it's in their ZoI. However, if there was a Corsair ship sat a few K away, in that scenario they'd have to ignore it because they're not in House space.

This was one of my major criticisms of the amendment. Other than conflicting with all the lore that's in-game and being bad for gameplay, it also massively increases the technical complexity of the IDs when they should be as simple and easy to understand as possible.

Pretty sure the only net difference from this development will be a spike in sanction baiting as people who haven't noticed the edit inadvertently break the rules.
