I found all the roleplay for the pirates overtaking the base in an audio format, Jayce. You may thank me whenever.

Much appreciated. It really shed some light on the subject.

Unioners did 2 different RP threads on the subject and tried to chip in. Nobody really joined in, though. Anyway, it's a dev decision.

Do you have any idea how monumentally boring Delta would become if the only base everybody could dock on (sans squids) was suddenly removed? That's why it'll never be taken by the Core.

That all said, the same holds true for FP2, and while a pirate IFF in Bering isn't as restrictive as a Core IFF in Delta for docking purposes, I don't really approve of the decision and spoke out against it when it was proposed.

Regarding Delta, I proposed destroying/claiming Freeport 11 but having a neutral zoner dock remain within the system as a Zoner Flotila - a dockable Nephilim with a stationary cruiser escort in the shape of weapon platforms. It could have been a logical progression and would not have removed docking abilities of uninvolved parties. Sadly, it was shot down in favor of...nothing much, really. I am still not certain what the issue with it was, but there are already enough things I do not personally consult the development team with to add system devving as one of them.

I voiced an alternative idea in Omicron dev chat. I agree that Core IFF is too much, as alternative we could to make something similar IMG Gallic occupation IFF for the Freeport 11. Nothing really impactful will happen if we restrict the Order (have a base in system) and the Corsairs (have system next to Delta, but I would like them to have dockable cruiser or a battleship in Delta).

Bering should be the pirate system between Rheinland and Liberty, though. It's far more useful than Cassini ever was.

There is nothing stopping it from being just that with Freeport 2 retaining its standard Zoner IFF, though.
