Remove POB regulation double standards from rules

[Laura C.]

But when it comes to lawfuls, they are significantly restricted. First by rule this thread is about, so they can´t destroy POBs in Outer Regional Space unless it is hostile, regardless if the base is violating local house laws in any way.

That makes me wonder... what's stopping official faction leaders of house militaries/police/intelligence from invoking Faction Right 5? That way, the 'non-hostile' barrier is lifted, and thus they're free to curb-stomp the illegal base.

Rules clearly say "House Military, Police, and Intelligence factions may not enforce roleplay consequences upon non-hostile POBs, breaking House Laws or not, within Outer Regional Space." Invoking FR5 is obviously roleplay consequence, not to mention destroying the base. If it would be that easy to go around that rule, it would be pointless.

Frankly, if I had the choice and if it were possible, I'd put it as /base command that, for a sum of money, the commodity dealer will hide 'illegal' commodities from players with certain ID/IFF's.

... On the flip side for this server command, police factions can use a /base investigate or something so that they'll be able to reveal these commodities. It will be a diceroll command that can only be done once a day, and uses credits where there's a %chance the police officer can 'break' the dealer, and once the dealer is broken the commodities will be revealed, and there will be a day or two-long cooldown until the base owner can re-apply the hiding command.

There are lot of ideas for fancy game features. But we have limited devteam capabilities as well as game engine limitations. So things like this could be interesting, but they will likely never made it into the game.
