Alaska Opinion Poll

it is a nomad home system, but nomad patrols are the same as in Kappa, LSF went there without problems with 4 fighters once, patrols aren't everywhere in this system

It's THE Nomad home system. The Nomad patrols are almost all battleships, but nonetheless...

However, one cannot simply tankcat into Mordor, and come next version one cannot simply waltz through Iota. Especially if the Harbinger and/or a bomber or on, then its overkill. Even if you have a pair of Legates. Treewyrm has been working on the system, with really awesome results.

If the Order want to get to Liberty, they'll have to take the long way around like they did in SP, or they'll have to risk going through Iota. If the jumphole on Iota's side is close enough to the major installation, that will entail heavy casualties. It will add something to the Order if they need to stealth around avoiding detection to get to Liberty, especially if too many people leave their chars logged off in Alaska and need to 'rescue' themselves but don't think they can make it through Iota.

That could be an event in itself- Order battlegroup tries to cut through Iota and gets badly mauled in the process. When the arrive in Alaska, after making basic repairs, they no longer have the forces to mount an assault on Liberty, nor survive a return trip to Iota. They have to make a run for it, with a variety of people after their heads.
