Now let's all stay calm. I don't mind the long routes around - it's just that the KNF are so welcoming one way, the GMG are equally nice, and the Corsairs just adore BHers in Gamma. There's always the route through Outcast space but via the Taus and Bretonia, which means Houses systems.
And people are saying the ID has too much freedom. I do mind the BHG being restricted more and more with unclear arguments and generalisations.
Kingvaliant is being clear enough; my point was that it's a question of faction policy rather than a server rule; if the BH id says "no unlawful actions" and "entering Alaska is unlawful" then a BH is oorp being there, BUT any other unlawful isn't. i.e. a BH goes there, he's sanctioned, a corsair goes there, he only has to worry about getting his ship blown up.
There were a lot of things different in vanilla; there wasn't an outright war in the Taus. Things have moved on. If the system is to be accessible to LSF only (RP) then can the gates be locked up? It isn't listed as being owned by the LSF. If it is LSF only, I can't see why there are BH NPC patrols in the system. Why and when were they added? They would suggest that the BHG does know about Alaska. If it is secret then it's the worst kept secret in Sirius.
The BHG is a lawful entity, this pushing the ex-con thing serves only to restrict BHers as if they were unlawful. They are "ex", meaning not any more. As for untrustworthy, well who isn't?
This thread was about capwhoring. A few people seem to have problems with BHers in capital ships and thats a fair enough point. But the whole argument is counter-intuitive. You're proposing to to push all BHer capships into one small area of space and then ask what they're doing there and call some of them OORP for the very thing you demanded. As for Order players complaining about the number of large BH ships, well the Guild Core is
"a powerful and well organized elite....having nearly limitless resources"
All of this wouldnt happen if it werent for that damn Battlecruiser imho.
