Faction jurisdiction

[Dab]

I agree with Caylith, DBoy, and McNeo.

They said basically msot of what I want to say.

In the terms of governing certain parts of systems, I'd say that kind of sounds like a good idea.

For example; Freeport 4, the IMG Freeport, would be BSG-owned. The area around it would be there area. However, Mactan, being a LH base, would be controlled by the HF. This would include the base, and probably a good 20km around it, including the jump holes to Leeds, New London, and Vespucci. All three of these JHs have a rather large patrol of LH guarding them, and no lawfuls stopping them.

Another example is Tau-31. Holman and the planet are both IMG-controlled I think, so BSG would control a bit of the area around them. While KNF would have rights to the northern section of the system. SF wouldn't really have any rights except the Newcastle JH and the Dundee JH. The Leeds JG is constantly being fought over by the KNF/BAF NPCs and has no definite owner. Of course, these specifics would really be discussed by the factions that have a stake in the area (KNF, SF, and BSG), these two paragraphs are just examples of how it could be zoned.

I think this could give us a whole new division of faction diplomacy and leadership, and could possibly even result in factions fighting for zones of a system, rather than whole systems together. (Hessiens going for control over southern Omega-5 would be wonderful to watch:P)
