I think the houses should still be claimable by the factions with that house's military ID. Either that, or they buy the military guard system, and they are allowed to police the entire house space. I think number 2 is a good choice.
I like whoever's idea it was to have the owner of the guard system, also get the faction's main system thats connected to it. Example: Owner of Vespucci also controls Megellan, as if they were the police of the system.
I really like that Idead dab, like really, Why would anyone buy a guard system? Its out of the way, it has no trade lanes in it, no one in their right mind would go to one if they knew for example a pirate faction owned it and liked to tax. I think that old vannilla systems should be allowed to be bought or at least semi-owned like you said Dab.
Hey, don't give me credit. Someone else said it first.
If we did it that way, I'd say House militaries and police guard system owners would police ALL house space, not just say, New Berlin for RM. They would have Frankfurt, Hamburg, Stuttgart, Dresden, New Berlin, and Munich.
Where as AW which has Omicron-54, would have only Theta.
Some pirate factions wouldn't get any system but their guard, unless they take an empty one next to it, as most are connected to house space (example: Bundschuh)
Im saying also like the Bundsuch would get the rights to say tax the trade lane got from whats it called station to Sigma 13 JG, or soemthing on the lines of that. Its just that in my opinion, the guard systems are so out of the way, that no one is gonna bother going to them. especial if they are owned buy a taxing pirate clan or soemthing like that.
The guard systems are a useful place to retreat to and get some help against whoever/whatever is attacking you.
Plus unless a player is fully tagged, ID'd and been doing alot of missions for the guards parent faction, ALL NPC guards are going to be shooting them on sight.
So if a BHG ID'd player attacks an outcast player and the outcast NPCs are ignoring the BHG player, the outcast player can retreat into the guard system, and the NPC guards WILL be shooting the BHG player. (thats was just an example)
Igiss has said what systems are up for grabs, the admins want us to stop trying to interpret the rules so...
Lets just leave it until a faction buys a military guard system and asks the admins which other systems they have control/can police.
Tank old boy, [ELF] can afford to go out and buy Vespucci now, and another system to go
with it if necessary. Thats not the point ... Cut the cackle, and buy it if you want it. Its
actually no skin of our noses. The GAC section of [ELF] are Hackers anyway, and I'm
very welcome to land on America base at any time. If you wish to police it, and pay for
the priviledge, go to it ... Our IDs and Tags give us the right to be there, if we do the work
to to make the gaurds neutral, or in my case, very friendly ... Wonder what your rep is
like ?

Marauder, the RM already own the RM Guard system. Same with SF for BAF Guard system. Thats why I raised the question. As it is something that should be decided upon soon.

Actually, I believe we're still grandfathered into owning Berlin. Though, I am wondering if we have to change that or if our influence simply spreads into the RM Guard system.
