Sorry, it has been a little while.

I may have confused monitored with guarded. Monitored means you will suffer standing penalty, guarded means a strike force will enforce kos.

Did I get it right this time?

Which begs the point: Why should it even be considered uit space if it is nither monitored or guarded? Just to dictate who is a red dot on radar?

I have not personally verified this since the ff changes.

You have not personally verified this ever, because it is the most retarded thing I've seen since I read the SEC's complaint against GS (http://www.sec.gov/litigation/complaints/2010/comp-pr2010-59.pdf)

Well, I personally verified today that the empty sectors are not monitored.

Fill a bug report? Or will you adopt this as new valid rule?

It's not new.

Alloh: As Lecter says, it isn't new, it has always been this way. But as I mentioned earlier in the thread: In this case, it might have been interactions with the mission system (which uses the empty sectors).. destruction of certain mission ships becoming problematic with a fully Guarded system.

I need to find out why we chose to do this, before I can comment on changing anything. Either way, it is not my peak priority right now.
