But as Echo had already cleared some things, I guess, reapers would stay as it is and those bases wont be changed leave alone that system.

I think you have misinterpreted - the Reapers of Sirius assets are only staying as-is until there is time to give them the proper attention.
1. the suggestion of it becoming a zoner system......
there's a couple of problems with that. firstly, who would administer it?
All three official factions already have a system that they either own (TAZ and Baffin) or watch over in an unofficial manner. (Phoenix and 74, OSI and 49)
Handing the system over to the run of the mill zoner indie? pointless. It would only give a basis for the more pvp-orientated zoner indies to cause trouble with and around.
Secondly, it would cause friction between zoners and all the surrounding factions. Especially if the system was floded by zoner caps wanting to shoot stuff. Despite what some believe, diplomacy for the official factions are quite a balancing act.

fun fact: at one point during the second round of ZA loldom, we actually considered asking the admins and devs to enact an OC civil war style scenario just so we could purge ZA from the system. ZA went quiet again before that could go any further than discussions. go figure on that.
now back to topic....
if reapers were to be scrapped completely like the phooms, caymand could make a nice battleground system where Coalition/hessians/sairs et al fight to control the bases. (maybe like 1 base each).

Sabre to your last repost with who would administrate it. That is simple.
There could always be another faction created to control Cayman (All it's bases and ships) and bring RoS and Cayman back to life. Im pretty sure RoS never had a capital ship in the faction so when recreating or re making RoS you could always keep it so there is no Cruiser or Battleship or Carrier even written in the RP, or there is an option off having 1 cruiser as the flagship.
People complaining Cayman becoming a Zoner Zoner Zoner Capital Lolwut system is stupid and pathetic. Zoners don't need just Nephilim's or Aquilion's to RP. Yes there are many Zoner factions that fly them because they can and want too, but half the time people don't fully understand who or what Zoners are. I used to be a good member of the Omicroners when they were around and I used to do alot for that faction and now it is Phoenix. Phoenix/Omicroners have always had O-74. It is just like TAZ having Baffin.
The Zoner factions now don't actaully need a new system or another neautral system I agree. But there is always a use for this system if RoS are taken out of the Mod. It would be sad to see the ships and faction die and be taken away like Phantoms but it might have to be done.
The other option someone said was about Zoner Hessians and Corsairs all fighting on the inside of the system over something Zoners found that they are trying to transport to Cryer. This would be a good option if it is done correctly and without the lolwuts just pew pew pew all the time. If there was some well done RP for this then it could work. But I don't see how Corsairs or Hessians would have such base's like the ones in Cayman, it is just un realistic and would never happen. They are too developed compared to the ROCK Base's both factions have. It just don't make sense to me. Maybe if the bases were taken away from Cayman and replaced with the Hessian and Corsair bases for this idea to work it would work really well. The bases in Cayman could always be put some where in Sirius that would make it more popular and deserves them for activity and RP that goes well with there RP.
There was another option. The Freelance/Pirate/Smuggler idea for Cayman to become a hub for these pilots. It doesn't make sense to me. Because the stations are too much for a few pirates and smugglers to handle. There is to much development for them to use as a hub. There is a FP in O58 or O56 I think it is that is used as a pirate smuggling hub which I never see ANYONE using. It is a nice station and it could work well for the conflicts in the Omegas and Omicrons.
So the idea of Cayman becoming a Freelance Pirate Smuggler system is lame. But if the layout of Cayman was changed completely to a new system. All the base's taken out and replaced for a Freeport. Dockable planet. Maybe a Research Station and a Shipyard. But with all the Civilian Tech or BW Tech and Ships on then it could work. But still is a lame idea for FL/Pirate and Smugglers to own such stations.
But this is what I think. I would just like to see RoS or a new version of RoS to be recreated and if anyone is willing to try and help me with this add my skype.
Exactly that is what im saying! RoS have never had caps as far as im aware. They are just a big pile of **** and a waste of money and space. RoS could have one as a flagship but then again they could also have a gunboat for that.
