And for that like I said - a mechanic already exists - go out and use it.
Well I'm pretty sure I've put a great deal of thought into this one. If you need consent on both sides then nothing will ever happen. Part of the point is to let factions thrust places into these situations and create a real need to defend it. The situation is the stimuli for action on either side. I really dont see how letting some places change things up commensurate to a huge amount of player effort and coordination would kill the houses more than population shrinking over the course of the next few years. If no one is here to percieve this place in the end, it all goes to waste. Thats killing all of the houses together.
Look at the prices I suggested to get sieges. You really think things will change over night? And like I also said, go right ahead and prove your plan should be the alternative by doing it yourself. I am specifically suggesting a staff executed system to ensure regular functioning of the events and fairness. Everyone will see when a faction has got a siege approved and see attack declarations, etc. This system being separate is exactly what we need to make these changes inrp and make sense. Again, to actually get what we could and should from disco, we need to allow for a bit more.
And no, it wont matter if a few sieges pile up at once. It will come and go. It will mean the place might get busier, and people will learn that there will be good and bad times to take action based on what is going on in the world around them.
I invite anyone and everyone to submit a theoretical scenario regarding likely factions that come to mind and things they might do based on the system in the OP. There would be exceptions in some places but I believe it will work fine server wide, faction actions will already be limited by ZOI, ship class availability, player availability, access to scidata. It would be fine!
