if more strictly regulated building permissions exist to facilitate official zone ownership for players I would totally rescind my concerns, especially if player ownership of a zone brings more than just a name change on the galactic map.

zone takeovers that cease the spawning of AI factions to truely convey player ownership is something ive always wanted in x3 and even the modders could never really pull it off.

this sounds more like a limitation than an improvement. Why are you taking station placement choices out of the hands of players? "meaningfully" can mean different things for different people. And learning which spots are bad spots to build should be part of the learning process, the "Think" part of the game if you will. Or is this decision simply a way to force people to build away from the new highway feature and other predfined cosmic landmarks?
