House Corporations, House Unlawfuls and Border Worlds

[TheSauron]

I've had the topic of Corporate ZoIs brought up in a discussion earlier today, and I got curious about the general community sentiment.

As it stands right now, House Corporations' ZoIs are typically confined to their own House + 1, with some individual systems sprinkled here and there. Same goes for House Unlawfuls, though they usually have it a bit better, with most having at least one Border Worlds region attached to their ZoI. I feel like it is a little bit restrictive and prevents House IDs from penetrating deeper into the Border Worlds, which is something that I believe they should be allowed to do. This also goes hand-in-hand with my belief that Corporate IDs should be allowed to let loose/turn borderline unlawful outside of House Space to better enable them to act out their bad guy side.

All that said, this thread is meant to pose the following questions:

Should House Corporations and House Unlawfuls be allowed to operate in all neighbouring Border Worlds? As an example, in case of Bretonia, this would mean that Bowex, Gateway, BMM, Planetform, Gaians and Mollys would all receive both Taus and Omegas within their ZoI.

How would people feel about extending Corporate ID lines to enable them to engage combat ships and pirate transports largely indiscriminately outside House Space? This would obviously have some restrictions so as to not have Bowex pirating RM or something silly like that, rather just non-allied corporates and pirate/freelance merchants. Yes, I am aware most Corporate IDs are already able to pirate their specific competition, but I feel like that is way too niche, and also implemented as a very silly Sirius-wide piracy line. Why would Kruger be pirating BMM in the Taus?

Either way, these are the two questions, plus the poll above. Thanks for your time.
