I see. As I understand the policies put forward here, I can add my signature to sections I, II and IV, but not III. I am required to request concessions of the following nature:
- A term explicitly prohibiting people basing off Freeports bordering house space for the purposes of committing an act or multiple acts of piracy and terrorism. Currently, this is implied but not specifically stated.
- A clause stating that Liberty law enforcement have the right, in Zoner-owned Freeport no-fire-zones bordering Liberty space, to proactively arrest violent criminals who loiter in no-fire zones and refuse to dock.
Damage to installations around Sirius belonging to each faction, regardless of their colour or stripe, is a fact of life. As I recall, it is only the Zoners that are so fiercely protective of their facilities to impose such limiting regulations to their use. I think its time that you made a small exception, as those violent criminals whom our law enforcement will be chasing have likely attempted to murder civilian and military personnel alike. In my humble opinion, murder is a far more important crime to punish than slight damage to property.
I also cannot accept the following part of section III.
Quote:Vessels fleeing into the NFZ are subject to the Space Rules imposed on all vessels by the Authorized Department of Movement and Interstellar Networking of Sirius (//ADMINS and Server Rules) and are considered as fleeing from combat and docking. The fleeing vessel must dock at the station or planet immediately, and remain docked for no less than 4 hours (//As per Server Rules 5.6 - 5.9).
The reason is that this part of the document interprets the interstellar rules of engagement to its advantage and not in the spirit that those rules were meant. This will have to be removed for my signature to find its way on to the entirety of your document.
I hope this meets with your approval.
