Zone 21 / Alaska rule Enforcement

[Tenacity]

I don't see why the Houses Militaries shouldn't be able to control who has their ships. In real life, no one calls it "fascism" when civilians can't pinch M1 Abrams tanks from US Army bases (and the US Air Force doesn't sell off F16 Raptors, nor does the Navy sell off Nimitz class carriers to the general public). No one calls the fact you can't buy NYPD badges on the black market and try and police New York City "oppressive" or "unfair". I've never heard anyone arguing in a US Court that the Constitution gives them a right to impersonate a CIA agent.

If you have a problem with factions setting such restrictions, take it up with the admins. They are the ones allowing the continued existence of factions with unilateral names like "Liberty Security Force" or "Rheinland Military".

It's also a complete strawman to argue the factions are enforcing it like a server rule. It's a roleplay restriction, like busting people with cardamine. There's not a single military on this Earth that allows you to take it's vehicles or identification without it's permission and/or membership. If you can find me a military that allows that, I'll concede that last point.

The issue isnt 'civilians' using liberty ships, it's "independent liberty lawfuls" using the ships.

SA/LSF want all the power, and they dont want people who arent in their little player-made faction to have any. They treat independents as inferior, when we've got every bit as much right to play this game and enjoy it as they do.
