Ships & Systems Classification Proposal Feedback

[LuckyOne]

All capitals should be locked to ZoI or a set region of space. In many cases it makes no sense why capitals can just go so far outside of their standard operating zones. We also get silliness like LNS farming in Tau-44.

I have a dream of one day having a mechanic that would make caps more annoying to use out-of-ZOI, but not impossible.

Something like fuel or docking restrictions to non-allied bases.

The issue is not as much in the odd cap going out of place, but when it becomes almost abusive behavior (see Ranseurs at Rochester).

Reminder, even with buffing unpopular IDs such as police IDs and giving them TLAGSNET did not, actually, make them more appealing in a day to day environment.

Nobody really smuggles, that's why TLAGSNET doesn't really help. Heck I'd say it would be more appealing in the hands of e.g. Lane Hackers than the Police, considering the current state of trading.

Though, I generally think that absolutely game breaking PoBs, constructed at positions for the sole purpose of ruining gameplay options should be moved by Admins following a thorough analysis of the situation given.

Never really saw one of those in my relatively short time here, but what exactly is the difference in out-of-ZOI lolwut caps and out-of-RP lolwut POBs? You can just shoot them after a siege declaration, right ? If it's a troll POB chances are nobody is really going to show up to defend it... Besides, Darkwind's changes should reduce the POB trolling potential significantly.

As for the proposed system classification changes, simplifying things and making them more consistent should always be the goal, however I'm not sure the proposed changes really make the situation more clear. I guess they do, but it will take a bit of getting used to the new wording.
