It takes a long time, it requires lots of coordination and motivation. Making it harder would put pobs at 0 risk for being destroyed which makes no sense to me inrp or oorp.

However croft's idea is interesting, I guess I wouldn't mind if it was changed to the way he presented either.

Implementing any rule that changes that will not only have a bad effect on playtime, but also in interpersonal conflict. By having people playing in opposing factions, they should be pushing the members of both factions to play with fun in mind. If you play on both sides you have empathy as a player (not a character) for ganks and the like. We used to say this all the time, we were different from other gaming communities because the idea of disco was not people being members of factions, as Hoodlum used to say, we aren't members of many factions, we are members of one faction and that faction is Disco. We want players from different parts of disco flying together and getting to know each other better. The more multi-factioning a player does, the more players on the server he gets to know, the more he can work things to have fun for everyone. Now, can that be abused? Yes, it can and has, but the abuse is not so bad that we should through out one of the underlying concepts of the community.

I agree 100% here, but still feel I must repeat my point and say that no one person should be in charge of two or more factions, it gives said person too much power and influence on the game and I'm surprised there isn't already a rule against it.

In the end, it really much ended up as causing two bigger fights, the latter being a bit frustrating because of the PvP-dead-when-one-snub-is-around-and-the-caps-can't-switch-to-smaller-ships thing. The siege in itself was a fair thing, though, as you could have been aware of GRN wearing the pants in Leeds, to be honest. You didn't come to them and asked them for permission. Instead, from a GRN point of view, they just find a foreign base in their new area, one that didn't ask for permission and one that didn't pay a questionable high amount of credits (although it's a punishment).

If I remember correctly, though, you tried to make money buy importing Black Market Ammo to bring it to the Leeds Resistance Base, which requires you to have a freighter to land on. With only having to fly to the Delta Base instead of Kreuzberg, you would have made good money there.
