The great Guard system cull

Do you think there are too many Guard systems in the mod? Yes? Well, we think so too, so it's time to start cutting.

Stay tuned for more information, coming Soon™.

No changes planned... yet:

• none
  

Faction leaders with grievances should express them in this thread first, rather than attempting to contact me directly. I am willing to negotiate where and how Guard system assets are relocated, within reason.

For systems that are getting cut, assets may be de-Guarded, and will be redistributed throughout the faction's ZoI. Any faction with its own line of capital ships will still have at least one Guard IFF base in a "secure zone" where those ships can be purchased. Some bases will be merged into multi-bases or super-bases, which is a technical reference to using multiple base entries as a single larger base in-game (ie. a base with more than one dockable section).

An overview of changes for each system will be noted here when the specifics have been finalised. This list is subject to change.

I am asking, as BAF| 2iC, for information regarding assets in Salisbury please, if there are any plans already that is...

"Puerto Rico - de-Guard, revise layout, receive Humboldt assets"
This means Humboldt will be cut? And the ore fields?

Also, Junkers are using their guard system more than all other factions combined; if the lack of activity is the reasoning behind deleting the Guard systems, then Puerto Rico should be left alone, logically. Humboldt could be merged into Kansas.

So I'm guessing those that'll be cut will have their assets moved to neighboring/nearby systems?

And thank goodness, cull the unnecessary!

Cool work

Also, any news relating to scaling Zeta, and other very large Omicron systems?

[Havok]

Cutting out the Guard systems is nice, though in Braunschweigs case it connected to further Systems, where will these Jumpholes lead now or where will we find access to these jumpholes?

In the case of Battleship Moselle, I'll talk with my colleagues about it and then decide if we would like input in where it is moved, along with the station in there.

and in Londonderry, there are multiple stations which belong to the mollys, including a fully blown shipyard. Where will these go?

that's Yuri job, so we have to wait Omicron update.

About Guard system: Dont merge Puerto rico with Humboldt , better merge Humboldt with Kansas i think.
Puerto Rico doesnt need change like it's already a very active system. Maybe just change Rep of Culembra to normal junker, but nothing more.
