The ID as it is written now seems confusing and has conflicting lines, wouldn't make more sense if house intel IDs had the out of ZOI line removed or modified and the server-wide rules were applied to out of ZOI engagement? It would also effectively exclude Taus as the ID specifically allows engagement there and IDs override server-wide rules, and it would make little sense that intel factions couldn't attack hostile combat ships or assist allied navies for being on cruisers in a contested zone.
