/lockdown

[Sarawr!?]

I really like this idea, and I don't agree with those who have said "It will kill the chase" It wouldn't have that effect at all, unless the pirate is incapable of thinking of any other ways to attempt escape aside from going:

"LOL IMA TAKE UR TRADELANE AND RUN FROM U"

If anything, this would possibly make 'the chase' more believable and 'realistic', if you want to call it that.

I mean sure, we can shoot out the tradelanes already to prevent escapes, but putting it into perspective, would a military or police pilot really damage government property in order to stop some random criminal?

Perhaps More importantly, would the Command bodies of such organizations condone the destruction or damage of government property in order to stop criminals? I highly doubt it so...yeah.

I'd personally like to see something like this given to Official Faction players over anyone else, but I know if it were to be implemented it would likely be in a way that it would be given to anyone with a specific IFF and ID, which is fine by me as well.

Additionally, I agree pretty much word for word with L.L's opinion of this idea.

I like this Idea

Give it to EVERYONE

Tag + ID = able to preform a lock-down on trade-lanes/jump-gates/stations/docking rings OF THE SAME FACTION AS YOUR TAG AND ID!!!

In most houses:
Planets are owned by the police
Trade-lanes are owned by the police
Jump-gates are owned by the police

In most border-worlds:

Trade-lanes are owned by the military or corporations (like the GMG)
Jump-gates are owned by the military.

This would also prevent ANYONE FROM LANDING ON A BASE THAT THE OWNING FACTION HAS TOLD THEM NOT TO

THINK OF ALL THE SANCTIONS FOR OOC LANDINGS IT WOLD PREVENT!

so, TL;DL: Owning factions of X would have the ability to lock down X.
Indies to.. but an indie /lockdown can be lifted by a faction /unlock

Edit: /lockdown would have an effect time of 2 mins and a recharge time of 4

/unlock would have a revering effect and no recharge time
