ZOI Shenanigans

[Tomas.]

I feel like this needs to be excised from my previous reply and placed here, in big type, so that there no chance anyone missed it:



Cannot bring Cruisers or Battleships into any system containing a Jump Gate with the exception of Sigma-19, Sigma-17 and the Omicrons.



Seriously. People have been complaining about outcast and to a lesser extent corsair caps and an even lesser extent hessian battleships in places they shouldn't be for literally years so why not just add the above line to these IDs and then make their ZOIs make sense? Non-contiguous ZOI is silly - "I can't play my faction until I've gotten where I'm going?" "Just place a base in Kepler, it can't be shot by OC even though EVERY SYSTEM AROUND IT (save Cassini) is vulnerable?" If the ZOI is too large just revise it! ...but don't make us hopscotch and avoid interaction in certain systems because our ID doesn't have a self defense line.

To quote @Gerhard Wolf in a discord: "F*** ranseurs in NY"

Apparently a player request has been submitted to have the ID revised to something that makes more sense. Here's hoping this thread helps that gain traction.
