I'm sure you can manage a blanket bounty... None of the corporations have that "hunt them in the borderworlds" clause. It's not what corporations do - BHG and LPI being the exceptions.

Quote:Can Ageira hunt Hackers somewhere in Kusari, if they meet them?
Yes. "Can hunt Lane Hackers." -> No ZoI limitation. Incidentally, Daumann has the same clause in regards to the Hessians.
If you meant hunting pirates, somehow I don't see them being overhunted by IMG or GMG now, although they have such line in both of their IDs, and I don't see reason why shouldn't corporations be able to engage on the outskirts of their house space, just like it is now. "Independent systems directly bordering house X" should be in ZOI of all corporations in my opinion.
EDIT: As for Omega-5 and Cambridge examples, these systems are unlawful crossroads, there are shipments with supplies and blood diamonds going through them. Again, I see no reason to take Independent Worlds directly bordering house away from corporate IDs, it is their primary ZOI now and things work fine, for example in DHC we planned developing relations with GMG, now we hear we won't be able to engage in Sigma-13, one jump away from the system with Daumann owned planet.
As this version's experience shows, house corporations should get buffs, not nerfs, and engagement ZOI limitation is a direct nerf which hurts corporations' attractivenes for players.
