You know what makes me sad?

We have a repninja thing, don't we?

Gloucester gave me an idea... Make a new NPC faction. Call it 'Alaska Guard'. Give it a stationary battleship and a heap of weapons platforms inside the Alaska gate. No IDs available for it. No missions. No bribes. It doesn't even get any allies of enemies. The only thing that happens is that the repninja sets everyone to hostile to 'Alaska Guard', except Nomads and Order, who get neutral (to represent their other methods of getting in, I guess) and Liberty forces, who get friendly.

Also, Zone 21 -is- known of. It's a military testing ground. That's what the mines are there for. For people's own safety. That's what the public knows, anyway.

The problem with that is that if the Alaska guard are neutral to Order and Nomads, they won't attack them, which makes no sense.

And what about =LSF= and [LN] tagged ships? The way you presented that idea made it sound as though only Alaska guard ships can get through, and not Navy or LSF ships, which makes no sense either.
