actually, i dont like it. (the island switching)
noone likes "station games". the alpha1 islands to small to have police zones, outposts AND teleporters. did you forget why they removed all the safe zones from beta?
if police towers back (and i really like them), then only in a way that doesn't involve superficial systems like syndicate protection, molecular instabilty or such.
the key factor was agression and punishment. the issue was mostly that the punishment was meaningless since you just have respawned in the terminal next to the one you have ganked without any lasting effect.
Or in case you just sniped someone from outside the police zone, there was nothing but a pvp flag above your head that allowed someone else to shoot you, and then it allowed your group to walz into the safe zone to shoot that now pvp flagged one.
"police" only makes sense if there is a law, that is not just Mancs ... (oohhhh, memories)
