Maybe something where an Ion storm maybe makes a certain system or sector lose lane/gate function for a time, maybe. (Be an interesting way to shift activity around). Otherwise, no.
People will simply not play the game for a day. If it goes on longer, new players who aren't on the forums will deicde the game is broken and not play again.
oh come on you would seriously not play the game the whole day over no lanes? Yeah ok longer than a day or part of a day would be much I suppose. I often wonder though why people play space based games but don't actually like spending much time doing it. have some patience and bravery! 1 system would be fun, but I mean, many reasons could be used for House wide outages. LH launch a cyber attack on liberty, shut down all its lanes or gates for X period of time. This would not alter anyone's ships or make them play as other factions or require impossible things to be added. Its space, inrp what if it was something people had to deal with? You'd know who's really out for some RP by the pilots that would rather sit in the bar because they can't use the trade lanes or gates at the time. And not always would it have to be both. People don't consider the RP value of how it might effect story and interaction, and instead worry about the ease of trading for one day? Live a little I say!

What Laddie said. Having the entire map shut down for a week would be the opposite of beneficial to RP. Not only because people won't be able to move fast enough to get to the places with RP (and as such, most people will probably stay in conn the whole time), but also because it destroys the activity for a LOT of factions (mainly the trading factions who rely on the TLs and JGs for profit). Plus, wasn't the original idea to try and get people to stay on the TLs and JGs so that they had a higher chance of meeting someone else?

IMHO, a decent compromise would be to affect 2-3 systems for a span of 6 to 12 hours only
The thing you have to keep in mind is that what you may personally believe is the best for RP doesn't mean it's best for gameplay
