Interactive Nav-Map Misinformation (Question to the Discovery devs/administration)

[EisenSeele]

Hello. I have a question for the devs and admins who voted to punish NBK. How often do you play in Gallia? I'm asking because the Interactive Nav-Map shows Provence as part of the Gallia House Space (blue colour). It's a Gallic system with a Gallic name that used to be a core system(controlled space) of Gallia for over a decade. Also, you legit cannot know how to check the system's status, apart from typing "/helpmenu regions" in the actual game. Moreover, even the good old Disco wikipedia shows that Provence belongs to Gallia. So maybe, before punishing players, you should set Provence and Dublin colours to white(like other IW systems around Liberty, for instance) on your official Nav-Map, so the players stop getting confused by it?

I moved your post here as it wasn't the place - sanction threads are for the specific sanctioned players and OF leadership representing them

As discussed with you via discord

Gallia is defined as: Ile-de-France*, Burgundy, Champagne, Languedoc, Orleanais, Picardy.

The ID used had the following law enforcement lines:
Within Zone of Influence (Gallia and bordering systems):
- Can attack ships considered hostile by Gallia.
- Can enforce laws within Gallia and Zurich.

The ship that was attacked was part of the Order, which is not considered hostile by Gallia - chatlogs show that the pretense for the attack was law enforcement, due to an illegal piece of equipment mounted (a cloak) which does not apply outside of Gallia + Zurich.

The Discovery navmap is there for convenience and labels systems by region, not by 'rules' or 'roleplay' - for instance, Dublin and Chugoku are also labeled in their regional house colors despite not being within core house space. Kusari police ID's do not cover Chugoku, and Bretonian law enforcement lines say Bretonia AND Dublin. There definitely is a good argument to add the caveat that the regional colors on the navmap are regional and not house core space for ID lines, but it is also the responsiblity of the player to understand their ID and the relevant rules. In the particular case we're talking about, The sanctioned player was told that Provence was not house space, but he ignored that and attacked anyway.

TLDNR: The server rules page supercedes all other resources, the wiki is long since deprecated, and the navmap is showing house regions and not definitions of actual house space
