Topic: Placing a gamma terminal near another
So, lately there have been one or two events where one corporation has placed a gamma terminal very close to another corporation's one. Some of you thought, and even I remembered vaguely that there would be a rule which would prevent this.
However, now that we checked the code, there is no such mechanic. There is actually an error message for it, but it's unused. Which means that we planned it at one point, but we either abandoned the idea or simply forgot about it.
Either way, my question here is: is such a rule needed?
If you want my personal opinion, we already have too many of these made-up rules in a supposedly open sandbox, and if you can't defend your base from a newly placed terminal next to it (or preventing it from being built even), maybe you're not supposed to be there after all. It's harsh, but gamma is like that.
But if the majority of you think an artificial restriction like that would make the game more fun, by all means we'll put it in.
