Guard Systems - A flawed concept?

[Malaclypse 666]

There's a reason this thread languished over a month ago (thanks, Nikolai..); it's called "dead parrot" syndrome.

However,

I like Baffin. I see it inrp, I know Eris is the Queen, I know there is open way through system, one base where I can dock and sell cargo, the rest of the system is restricted.

Well, you're partly correct. There are two bases open for business to the general public, Shasta and Sedona. (Guard-friendly required for Sedona). And, the only "system" restrictions we enforce are "No-fire" in nature. Ie: No pirating, no taxing, no bountying.

I think guard systems should be like Baffin, (no guards in open space only some areas heavily guarded and dangerous), but it depends on system owner.

90% of our "Enemas" list are those cabbages who violate our "Temple", Pueblo Bonito; the other 10% have tried to pirate in Baffin, or done some other silly thing to TAZ elsewhere in Sirius.

But if push came to shove, I'd take my 500 Million back, withdraw to Pueblo Bonito, and build a Dyson sphere around it, with coded airlocks. (A very spiky Dyson sphere.) Will that happen? Or, will this thread once again fall lackadaisically into Disco history...
