No it's not. At least not in the part related to NovaPG.
Quote:I must protest. You are rendering our extremely sizable investments largely worthless so as not to impinge on the rights of minorities, yet you're placing capships in Guard systems so as not to make them as easily accessible to lolwutting morons who haven't even read the rules. You're removing the legal basis for that method's strongest pillar, the player faction!
You want to limit independent players to fighters only? Not the most logical approach. Ships placed in guard systems will at least force players to work on their reputation.
Plus, we are not talking only about Outcasts here. There are factions with far less ship-selling bases than the Outcasts. We'll think on how to do it without harming player factions' control over their systems and without restricting other players from getting the ships/weaponry they have a right to get.
Quote:The question is, can player factions restrict access to equipment and ships sold in guard systems from players of the same NPC faction?
With the exception of admin-controlled factions like Keepers, I see neither reasons nor ways to restrict this.
