Right, so, Planets are big places. In Disco, they hold about 98% of the population. This has a couple implications: the first that they hold more than one faction, and probably many factions (for instance, Planet Manhattan, while nominally under the control of the LPI, has regions which are owned by Ageria, or DSE, or Universal, enclaves run by the xeno movement, rogue bases, etc). To say any of the criminal factions of a system cannot land on its nominally lawful planet seems a bit ridiculous, but with the Docking ring, one expects, as the current rules seem to indicate, that only the system powers would ever land on a planet, and that planetary powers generally have everything in hand. I'd argue that this is very much not the case, and that, even though planets are nominally lawful, it shouldn't be a breach of rules or rp for an unlawful, or even an enemy agent of another house, to land there.
Secondly, Docking Rings are....rings. In space. For...landing. But once through the ring? Your ship continues to fly through the air, under its own power. Sooo...explain that to me? Ideally, I'd argue that docking rings should be removed altogether, and the planet's death feild replaced with a docking area....but I do not believe docking areas can be that big (correct me if I'm wrong?), but only a docking area that will accept smallish ships. Larger ships should be moored, as atmospheric entry....you can imagine.
