POB rules change - Fees in House space versus non-House space

[Lythrilux]

Any system that is NOT named in the rules sections concerning Houses can't be taxed. For instance, if a base is built in Kepler or Cortez, would not be considered House space per the server rules, so wouldn't be allowed to be attacked if they refuse to pay a fee. While House military/Police ID's state they can patrol one system beyond their House systems, demanding a fee in an "Independant" system is no longer allowed.

How does that make any sense inRP though? If Lawfuls see a base on their borders that could yield a form of income for them, why wouldn't they try to tax it? Border systems aren't fully independent, given the lawful influence. Plus, I really don't like the idea of people just outright blasting POBs in independent systems as they are not allowed to RP with them.

And Finn, what about factions like The Core?
