ZOI Limitations

[Karlotta]

Yes, expand them, because people should be allowed to do more stuff on the same char, so there is more identification with the char and less anonymity.

Also give more ID permissions and mining bonuses. Those are just 3 small things out of a 100 that should all be done to make this place more attractive.

If you do that you lose the point of having id's in the first place.

You can go literally anywhere, trade with anyone as long as game mechanics allow, because ID restricts only initiation of combat into ZoI, you can only self-defend outside. You are free to develop and advertise your character anywhere you like without having to shoot anything, I sincerely hope that is still managable these days.

Else if you want to shoot things in a certain location, use locals for that.

But... There are already 23 factions that can mine! Do we really need more?

Not give every ID the same rights, bonuses, and ZOIs.

Give them more than they have now so people don't have to constantly hop between chars and IDs while they're dong things, especially while they're still new.

For example the same char (lets say a freelancer or a certain mining faction) should be able to mine for a hauler while being a somewhat usable defender there at the same time, then escort/scout for the hauler to his destination, mine for him there, and escort/scout the way back without ever changing chars.

That creates more IRP inter-character bonds and better RP than people constantly swapping chars and factions to get the best ship for the situation.

Especially it makes it easier for players who don't already have 10 skype friends and 20 ships with 15 different IDs scattered all over Sirius.

That way they can keep playing on the same char without being totally useless, and still keep building more chars with more specialized ships over time to still make a little more profit or punch than they had on their first more versatile char. Ideally and most easily this is achieved by giving Freelancer ID + VHF + one mining laser a decent mining bonus, because those have unlimited ZOI already.

EDIT: About the OC-cap in Manhattan problem, you can always make tighter restrictions for some ship classes while making it more liberal for others.
