Security

As with anything good, there will always be forces of evil attempting to destroy FTA infrastructure. The reasons for this are manyfold, and could include:

• Disabling access to a home base system (defensive measure)
• Disabling access to a system you are trying to attack (preventing defender reinforcements)
• Destroying competing gates in the same system (redirect FTA traffic to the gate you control so you earn more fees or can charge a higher rate)
• A general desire for destruction and mayhem

We as the developers to not judge or even discourage this behaviour, as a healthy combat system is essential to the long life of Frontier. However, it is our responsibility to try to protect the integrity of the network where possible, and therefore we must both allow for easy repair of the FTA network, as well as punish those who try to harm it.
