This is not good change. You reduced action space for several factions, how is that good?
Let´s take Rheinland as example. Now law enforcement doesn´t have to bother with patrolling in systems like Omega-7 or Omega-11 because we not only can´t enforce laws there (what is incredibly stupid for Omega-7 from lore point of view - it´s vital system for Rheinland economy because of mining operations there, we even parked battleship there to protect our interests) but we even can´t engage our enemies like Corsairs or Hessians while they can engage us. Only reasonable thing to do there now is to escort ships. However, I can´t escort them all, so if pirate/Hessian/Corsair wants to avoid danger of being destroyed, he will simply let me and transport I´m escorting to continue and wait for another transport without protection.
And if this one calls for help, I can´t help him. How does this make sense? "Sorry man, Rheinland police is not helping ships which are not escorted by us. Have a nice day and better pay that pirate." EDIT: Okay, this is covered by -Can defend allied or neutral lawful ships and bases within their Zone of Influence.
And same goes for Omega-3 from Bretonian side. So this system is to be new hope of the collapsing house, Sprague place where thousands of refugees are going, but Bretonian law enforcement can´t fully protect ships there.
Either at least allow to engage hostiles or change house space (by the way I don´t understand why totally unimportant system like Bremen is listed in Rheinland house space while crucial mining systems and connection system Omega-7 isn´t).
EDIT: And a question to admins - are you going to enforce this inRP too? I mean if someone report criminal which robbed him in Omega-7, I will treat this case under Rheinland laws where Omega-7 is part of Rheinland space and thus our jurisdiction. Are you going to enforce that Rheinland no longer hold claim over Omega-7 and Omega-11 and thus this is not possible anymore?
