-keep out of omicron 100!-

[Tenacity]

giving the guard npcs train cruise disruptors and -maybe- more powerful weaponry would be enough to deter people from passing through guard space they're supposed to be restricted from.

See, right now, I'm one of the only order players that ever patrols 100 to stop these smugglers. Right now, I do ok, because I've got a cruiser and as such the necessary firepower to quickly take down capships and transports/trains moving through the system.

The problem is that I will soon be downgrading to a sub-par ship for pvp purposes (and have been planning to for a long time - I'm switching to the zoner gunboat in 4.85, which jinx has said is only designed with four weapon hardpoints). That ship isnt going to be capable of taking out these players on it's own, so what happens when I switch? When I'm unable to guard the system and none of the other order pilots will take the time or effort to do so? The smugglers will continue going through that space unhindered.

So in addition to the guard npc changes, I'd really like to see more Black squadron and indie order players step up to the task and start patrolling minor/100 in order to stop the smugglers and others who are going through that space when they shouldnt be.
