Systems for factions

[Aeon]

hmm... in my mind, a truly role-playing server and community (not that this isnt a great one, by the by, it is!) would allow a faction to buy a pre-4.81 system, ie Dublin, as long as its relevant to the faction's rp and alignment. obviously, other people dont share that view, which is why you have this rule in place.

the problem with the guard systems, and this has been said before, is that for the most part, they have no strategic value whatsoever. the only one ive been to that would actually be somewhat worthwhile to have is Illinois, because it stradles the shortcut from NY/Colorado to sigma-13.

thats why i think factions should be able to purchase a pre-4.81 system, if it of course fits. obviously, it would need to be cleared by admins beforehand.

i was never to here to see the community without this rule in effect, so i cant really talk about this. i never saw what the deal was before the rule was enacted. what DID happen btw? lol

EDIT: also, how is that fair to the new factions. the old ones get to keep their original systems like omicron theta but we get stuck with some silly one way out in the middle on nowhere. :(
