Systems for factions

[Igiss]

I've prohibited claiming vanilla systems right from the moment 4.81 was released some months ago. Not hot news.

Actually, you should understand my reasons. All vanilla systems are somehow involved in navigation and trade routes. All players might come there, even the players that are hostile to owning faction might come there trading or hunting for some item/ship. Restricting passage causes loads of trouble, and in the first half of this year we've experienced that.

On the other hand, creating a rule that obliges factions to let their enemies and everyone else pass through their systems and dock at their stations is completely illogical. Factions should decide themselves what rules should exist in their systems. That's what faction systems are for.

Current guard factions have one drawback, though... players need to work on their reputation to gain passage inside. It's known to be difficult for some factions, but, again, it's not ID buying... enough to be slightly white. Their default rep is -0.65, and -0,59 is already neutral.
