Hi Guys this is just a friendly discussion. I want to see what the community thinks about this idea.
Take a look at this map and post comments. FP17 will be like any other freeport and open to all
Toronto base could be rented out to other factions. (Liberty Forces as an outpost, Mercs to go hunt Nomads, Pirates to hunt convoys....etc etc...)
The tihng is, any one and every one would be welcome to come and enjoy this system....
Please post ideas and comments......
Regards ,

It looks interesting, but I don't like the actual location of the system. Ontario currently acts as a very useful highway for unlawfuls to bypass New York to reach other Liberty systems. I don't think it'd be a good idea to close it (as lawfuls would often be in this system), as:
-New York would be more populated than ever
-it would remove a little advantage for the unlawfuls
-it would force smugglers to take a more linear path to their destinations
I don't really understand what you mean by Toronto being "hired" out, do you mean its just a station with various missions and docking rights, or is it actually going to be owned by various groups depending on their dealings with \JG/?

It will be given to factions based on JG's various dealings with other factions. Players can use the base to launch hunting parties to Alaska (mind you Alaska JG will be close to 100 away from the nearest JH so the distance will be a diterrant. Liberty may rent it to stop smugglars at the JH. Junkers can rent it to sell repair goods to traders passing to liberty systems. Also JG will promote this system as a no-mans land. If every one agrees, we may put an eagle in FP17 for Xeno's as well so they dont have to haul their butts to Delta to get it... freeport 17 will be run by JG. Unlawfuls will NOT be hassled here (the base will be zoner affiliated), JG are trying and will try harder to be more neutral to all factions. In essence I am hoping it will draw some croud out of liberty as JG will provide reasonable initiation and termination points from FP17 for trade routes similar to NY but slightly less profitable.
Lets face it, Ontario is a buffer system that lies between Liberty and the Rogue systems and some neutral faction needs to take it. Also I am fedup of seeing faction systems which no one is allowed to enter in. I am also fedup of alaska having only one reasonable exit point to inner systems.
This system will reflect the symmetry with other systems and will allow a seamless integration.
Ontario is used to much by everyone. Smugglers and Liberty Lawfulls use it as a shortcut around NY.
I know you say everyone would be welcome and you would rent out one of your bases...but those are campaign promises. Once you have paid for and been given the system you can do anything you want and make any policy you want. Kick everyone out. Declare marshal law. Launch attacks against Liberty. Become a safe haven for those who attack liberty. Defend smugglers.
nonononono
And you want a JH to ALASKA?!?! So Ontario can be the Super Smuggler System of all of Sirus with a ton of bases neutral to all Smugglers?!?!?! You need to put the crack pipe down.
Dont worrie i just got told that Ontario Cant be bought, by Igiss.
So this tread can be closed.
I am not a native English Speaker, so i make grammar errors.
But it annoys me when people make silly comments about that... especially brits who for the most part can't speak their own language let alone anyone elses!
I really wanted to see a neutral system in Ontario.
...and Yes... I really wanted another outlet from Alaska.
I do not smuggle, but I can see the frustration of pilots who do use that route just to find a cap ship sitting in NY side by the mine field. No strategy, catch the theif at the bottleneck. With alaska jh in Ontario, liberty pilots can track who enters alaska and deploy ships to go check the Alaska outpost. If it is a 100 clicks away, Liberty ships can make it to ONtario JH's to actch the thief in the act. More of a cat and mouse fun.
Toronto station could have served as a liberty outpost. about 100 clicks away from Cali JH.
A few asteroids could have made that journey more fun. Also That would have made liberty wrok a little harder to stop Artifacts.
I do not care if it becomes a non faction system, I do think this would be a good way to go.
FP17 in my imagination was a place where mercs, boutihunters,Xenos could all meet without weapons and any one who opened fire was corrected by all.... a truly neutral system of sorts. (Frankly I was trying to Draw the Crowd out of Manhatten.
P.S: Just in case you haven't dealt with me in game, I am a man of my word.
PEACE.
Both plans for the JG to purchase a system are now invalid, we are currently working on a new purchasing plan. IN the mean time we will do some eventing to keep it intresting.
