I agree they are 100% down to the parties that agree to them, but the RDMS comes into play when it is combined with whatever system comes in to control relationships betweens orgs / factions and players. For example, if the law states that is anyone damages the property of a citizen living under those laws then the RDMS and relationship management can automatically update, adding to enemies list or restricting access to market terminals etc. This could even be linked into radars or security systems, where information off security breaches would be shared across networks until those security units are destroyed. I just want the tool to implement law and order, I dont want NQ to implement it for us.
There you have it. Even the most reasonable sandbox mechanics like trapping are forbidden. This is turning into a carebear theme park. Why give the player options just to cripple them again completely in hindsight. Exactly my thought why would you run into someone's property with a big sign on it or buy from a dispenser that says AGG 5k quanta... ? It's like you're getting punished for the stupidity of others. Not what I call sandbox.
