Regarding the restriction on Liberty caps

[worldstrider]

... who gets stuck with being stationed out by Willard or LPI Sugarland?

You don't have to be stuck there--you have to be stuck in California..or Texas...etc. You can also do what real navies do and rotate assignments.

There could even be a patrol for single capital class that could travel between systems as part of its tour. There is also no reason why fleets assigned to Colorado or Texas can't patrol the adjacent systems as well--Bering, Hudson, Shikoku, Magellan, Kepler, etc. If fighter-bomber fleets are maintained by all, I can't se how its "soo boring" to be confined to a specific three system area with the cap ship only. What that tells me is many LN are bored if they can't fly their cap ships all the time.

Basing and patrol assignments can be rotational--determined by date schedules (even-odd dates for example) or by vote or leader's assignment--whatever floats your boat;)

Being home ported at Willard or Houston or wherever doesn't mean you have to sit the base--that's your zoi--the system the base is in.
