System Claiming

[Igiss]

The proposal is overcomplicated and will never be implemented, even if we all put all our efforts into it. Too much paperwork to keep it running.

Besides, you forgot about many important things. For example, NPC spawns in systems are different. In some parts, pirates spawn often, in some there are no pirates at all. Next, if one person shoots at NPCs, does it mean that all other members of same team become hostile to them? I'm not sure about that. So the NPC idea is rather unrealistic.

Next, about stations... Large systems got up to 15 of those, so battles will get real lengthy. And it's impossible to make one map with all systems and 'contents' of each system on it. There's something similar in DataStorm, but even there everything is too small to mark system parts.

And for the conclusion I should say that after that story about Dab and Gamma the idea of system claiming in any form seem wrong to me. If we have this terrotory feature on our server, there will be individuals like Dab who will consider their systems their private property. Freelancer has 'free' as part of its name. Players love freedom about this game, and depriving the server of freedom... seems just plain wrong.
