/lockdown

[Lobster]

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

The idea could use a little tweaking.. but no, I'm not joking at all

Maybe the tradelane part could be taken out - perhaps the jump gate lock down.

But, if you look at Valina (battleship unity having the Colorado jump gate under its direct control) you can see where jumpgates could be actively locked down. Manhattan locking down after juni killed one measly person in a system of millions (ok, the lanes were still active, but they had to kill the battleship blocking it first.. so.. drop the lanes knocked out thing)

Also, the rules state that is -ANYONE- owning something (a base) says "dont land there Mr.X!" then Mr. X cant land there unless he feels up for getting a sanction for OOC actions.

The rules are already in place.. the sanctions are already pouring in... this cuts out the middle-man.

If the only way you can use the command is if you have the IFF AND ID of the thing you want to lock down, there is ZERO possibility for abuse (well.. other then being a dick.. but that can be done in plenty of other ways that are perfectly available right now.)
