/lockdown

[Chase]

This idea is fantastic!

(Much of what I put down here are ideas from other's in the thread, I'm just making it cohesive.)

The implementation would be a little bit difficult, though I believe that in single player, when you were on a mission for the main plot, it said something along the lines of "Dock disabled".
Also, we already have a dock timer enabled to prevent jumping back and fourth too quickly, I'm sure that could also be used as a mechanic for /lockdown-ing people.

Have it be "target player" based.

• Avoid disrupting other's gameplay
  
• Limit the range inherently to 10k as that is the "selectable" range for targets.
  
• Eliminate the need for a timer
  

Have it allied structures only.

• This one is a bit more difficult, as it could go by IFF I suppose. Using the IFF and only having it effect those bases which are the same "IFF" as yourself will make the mechanic of it easily implementable.
  
• Once it is put into effect, perhaps certain IFFs will have access to other faction's IFFs as well.
  IE: Colonials and IMG, house police and military and their respective house corporations.
  

Have it only work for official factions.
Q_Q about it.

• Give official factions a bit more power in-game. (Just my little prod to get a rise from you.)
  
• Prevent abuse of the system as when you are in an official faction, you are held responsible for your actions through fear of dismissal.
  
• How will it work? Well, perhaps having a mountable item (like a "licence" ID) only administered by admins. (I can't think of anything else ATM)
  

On a final note, if any of this isn't able to be done through game mechanics maybe a /hostile might work as well, at least for bases.
