I vote for a rule amendment

That's like running and hiding from the law in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba...

Exactly. Random fellow who looks like the prisoners there and running around wildly will probably be shot as an escapee.

Jinx is right, the wording is unclear. It would be nice if it was fixed to specify "player faction owned systems" or "systems strongly associated with a specific player faction or group of factions" one way or another. Personally I would prefer seeing Omicron Alpha, Omicron Gamma, and the Alaska system all lose most of their BHG (pulled back to jumpholes) and become "faction controlled" systems- if a random person hangs around Crete, they shouldn't be complaining when they get shot for taking intel for the Outcasts.

Also, as it stands now there is no clear distinction between server factions and official factions- if the Volksfront lays claim to Luneberg, the Bundschuh Guard System, can we shoot people for entering before we become official? I would think we would have to find another technicality to shoot them by until we bought the system/became official (whichever is meant), but I really don't know.

killhappyfool, a few weapons platforms seems like pittance. Put a battleship there. It might make SP hell, but it isn't like it isn't hell already...
