Faction jurisdiction

[Raven_ipb2_import227]

After much thinking I voted no.

I am not sure that any clan will have the resources, manpower and the will to police multiple systems. To guard a system like f.ex New Tokyo would ideally need 3 to 4 clanmembers to be there at all times to intercept any player passing through it, not to mention the jumpholes.
If done right a clan needs at least 6 active players for each claimed system to have any believeable police'ing powers. This however would limit gameplay as players rarely be able to leave systems when they are on guardduty for a certain system.

my 2 cents...

I understand what your saying here mate, and not to influence you or anything, but I feel I should point out, the idea that we can't always be in the same place at the same time, is a good one... it would be awful if we had enough members to be able to police every system in our SoI, then there would be no chance for smugglers and pirates... I'm not for that.... i want a more free RP server, one where smugglers try it, and pirates run around looking for traders, or fights... but I also want to be able to match that pirate's RP... if he can pirate anywhere in my factions SoI, then I should be able to carry out my work anywhere in my factions SoI.

You do talk about guard duty, and while this is fine, who said the whole system had to be under guard... do you see police on every street? Not in the UK anyway, if a problem happens, the police are called in. In the same respect, the pilots on guard duty, can stay around a certain base or planet (maybe the main trade lane in that system) and react to problems from there, and I'm more of a patrol person than a guard person, I also try to ignore people in other systems, i.e I'm in new london and a pirate JUST jumps into cambridge... even though I know this, I won't just jump into cambridge, just because I saw them in the chat bar... No I wait until my patrol goes that way, or I get asked for help by someone in cambridge, even if they don't get attacked, they may have picked them up on radar, and therefore can report into the local military, who in turn report it too me. (even if they asked me directly, they being in another system, would infact be talking to be via relay from a BAF npc)

What am I saying? If the players can use some common sense, with some real RPing concepts, the house factions shouldn't be able to abuse their power, but will be able to reinforce the RP backdrop of disco.
