BHG ID

[Typrop]

The fact that IDs with permissive engagement lines and Sirius-wide ZOIs exist is not a good reason for adding more of them. If nothing else, we should be trying to either remove or restrict the ones that do exist by doing any of the following:

1. Reducing the size of the ZOI. This would be appropriate for factions like the Coalition. Small, but having some established territory and a very close-by war front with another faction. Sending materiel off to faraway systems to pick fights, however ideological, with the locals is blatantly irresponsible.
   
2. Tightening the conditions of engagement. This would be appropriate for intel/espionage factions, since meddling in a rival or allied nation's territory, regardless of your intentions or the alignment of your target, is grounds for war or international sanctions.
   
3. Removing the ID entirely. This would be appropriate for the Nomads/K'Hara, which are already overpowered with their unlimited cloaking devices, high powered weapons, and lower standards of in-game roleplay (the "telepathy" that essentially constitutes powergaming in how it centers around telling players how their character is supposed to feel or be affected by something).
   

With that being said, however, the Bounty Hunters already have the engagement restriction. Criminals only, which is fine as long as the definition or list of what factions constitute criminal organizations is laid out in the ID, and not left to interpretation on the fly in-game. To be clear, I don't have an issue with this BHG-specific proposal; I just take issue with the "we already have this problem, we wouldn't be making it any worse" argument.

you know how many sirius-wide pvp IDs actually are in common play?

like, 3.

one of those is LSF
