[Proposal] A Fix For Bretonia

[Hidamari]

I was thinking of a way to make Bretonia More conventional in terms of tradelane piracy, which helps out the police and military faction activity, a lot. The problem is that Bretonia is like a overly leaky bucket, there are too many jumpholes that are far too conveniant for everyone other than those trying to keep order.

currently -all- of Bretonian crime happens in dublin, people flock from all over the place and converge in dublin, why, because its where the money is, and, because its so damn easy to get to.

what im suggesting is the removal and relocation of certain jumpholes to make bretonia actually policeable. and to push life into all the other areas of Bretonia that currently have -no- activity.

excluding Newcastle, only a good commodity or mining spot will save this system for permanent abandonment.


Ideas

Manchester
a system that has the potential to be the Bretonian California, small spread of lanes, and a long Choke Point enabling more than one pirate group to operate on the one lane, making it potentially extremely dangerous, inciting acitivty on all sides. yet unfortunatley is made redundant by over use of conveniance jump holes.

[color=#FF6600]Remove the Leeds JH = Manchester gets more attention, from pirates, Bounty Hunters, Police and commerce.

Add New London JH in Manchester in the Ice Field near the Jump Gate = New london gets more attention from pirates, and in turn police and military.


New London
The capital of the Kingdom and yet as barren as a Sigma system on most days, due again to overuse of jumpholes that means this important system can be completely ignored in most runs through Bretonia, why? There is no over use of jumpholes in this system itself, its the surrounding systems that allow this system to remain completely untravelled.


Leeds
This is supposed to be a devastated warzone, with ferocious fighting at every turn and yet it ends up the trader/smuggler super highway with just about every system 2 systems away linking to this place, and no use of a tradelane in sight except the one from the dublin jump hole.

Remove the Magellan JH = (far far FAR too conveniant a jumphole) result, Manchester gets the true amount of attention it deserves, and also New London too from traders/miners coming from Dublin with their Ore, meaning more policing.

Remove Dublin JH = (FAR too conveniant again) traders should not be coming through Leeds, this JH does not need to exist, means New London gets a massive boost in attention from all, commerce, pirates, police. (on a side note, adding an ALG waste removal depot in this cloud would be really cool and a good show of diplomacy between Rheinland and Bretonia)

Remove the Cambridge JH = they say corsairs are gaining presence in Cambridge, why have i never seen a corsair 1 time in cambridge unless it was passing through to get to Leeds, needs to be harder to get out of this system, gives police more to do since this is thier main battleground, trying to keep the corsairs back and push them into the omega's while the majority of the military fight in Leeds.

Add Newcastle Jumphole, (use the Manchester JH location) gives Newcastle a slight boost to raise it from its inactivity spree.

Dublin
Relocate the Chester JH = its a hidden system it shouldnt be so blatantly there "hmm i wonder where the nomads are coming from? oh i know CHESTER, we do RECON!"

Agreed on what you just said. Good idea.

[Syrus]

There's a Leeds JH in Manchester?

But, yes, good ideas. Everyone is using the JHs in Leeds, and by doing so missing all of Bretonia...

I like the short route, but it takes all the fun out of Bretonia.
Only problem I see right now is IMG being shot down everywhere when forced to go through Bretonia because of being hostile to BMM...*coughs*

Anyway. Good idea!

I agree on all except the Leeds-Magellen Jump hole, I think that should be kept.

I will admit that this is mostly because it was in the story, but hey, I like the story.

Oh yes, and IMG DOES need to be fixed, derby opening up on them is just not fair.
Surley they can be hostile to BMM without making everyone else shoot them?

I am a bit concerned though, are you leaving leeds anything?
I like the dub jumphole, but I say move it to a more remote place in both leeds and dub
i mean, right next to the NL jumphole in dub?
silly

It destabilized due to high traffic..
<_<
>_>
Yeeeeee

[Hidamari]

Leeds-Magellen Jump hole, I think that should be kept.

if any jump hole in the entire of bretonia needed to be removed, it is this one.

I like the dub jumphole,

Because its so unreasonably conveniant,

---

[Niverlare]

Totally agree with that, nothing more to say.

---

[Hone]

That's why I say move it to a more remote place

In both systems

It destabilized due to high traffic..

Yeeeeee

Those are all good ideas. Though instead of removing the Dublin jump hole in Leeds, I'd move it deeper into the cloud so it isn't right off the trade lanes.

The Leeds-Magellan and Leeds-Cambridge jump holes make it possible to skip over most of Bretonia, they should've been removed a long time ago imho

Solution, step by step:

0. move the Leeds jump hole back to it's vanilla position, next to Mactan (devs only)

1. make a Lane Hacker
2. ???
3. profit
4. ???
5. traders using Manchester
