' Wrote: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.
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.
Agreed 100% again. i have often seen navy stop at the gates to those systems. The navy has npc's that patrol the other sides of those gates. therefor, they can be in Magellan and Bering. possibly up to the Freeports in each of those systems.
