Looks like people have some problems with reading. Every listed ID is still able to defend every friendly and neutral vessel within their ZOI, but they cannot hunt actively in the non-House ZOI system.
Which is fine by me. No more extortions from player bases in the independent systems. In return, for a fee, police/military/intel is still able to protect bases. You don't pay? Not our job.
Good job in making Bounty Hunters actually playable and - wow! - NEEDED. Where Police cannot go, there bounters will be sent.
After being quite opposite to the idea, I've changed my mind as:
+ Corporate warfare outside house space will be (at last!) a thing.
+ Bounty Hunters will be actually needed to protect areas.
+ No more extortions from the POB in the neutral systems.
+ No more tensions between different law codexes (vide Cortez; Magellan).
+ Pirates will have some breath at last, without "You got Cardi, 10M fine" from lolwhuts.
