Promoting police roleplay - separating Police and Military identity?

[Lord Caedus]

I don't know if it's an identity thing as such but I do agree the military factions shouldn't be involved in law enforcement to the level they are right now in Disco.

It might be interesting to take each house's laws, decide what can be enforced by military (e.g. hostile ships of a particular size, perhaps certain hostile mega-factions like OCs/Corsairs) and what can only be enforced by police (e.g. smuggling, local unlawful snubs), and then run a great big smuggling event into Penny again. Ensure it's more lucrative to shoot down smugglers than to smuggle. Then we might find suddenly a tonne of people who usually play LNS are playing LPI.

Revenant: Please do not post ChatGPT stuff on the forums outside of Flood.

Placing more restrictions on factions that are actually played to try to force people to play an underplayed faction is absolutely the wrong way of doing this. Give the police factions the tools to do the job more effectively than the military, not in place of it. It makes no sense for any house military to see a smuggler fly by and just be incapable of stopping them because of an arbitrary ID rule that was put there to make the police be played more.
