The challenge is to find a way to both motiveate people to try in-RP stunts like takin over Texas with RM, but not to destroy the RP canon by takin over all ov liberty, virtually.
A way to do this:
Make a base that can be disabled, or even converted to a station with a certain faction affiliation by huge amounts of enemy fire.
By hue amounts of enemy fire I dont mean anytin a single player can accomplish, I mean like 15 minute non stop enemy bombardment by at least 5 battleships of equivalent.
At the same time, it should be possible to take over some of Texas (or another system, if you will), but make it parctically impossible for the RM to get into New York, by making the system entrances virtually unpassable by lare ships through indestructable razor- firing platforms (or any wapon that hits slow movin ships but not fall small fihters easily) that tear any larer ship into shreds within seconds.
