The problem with your analogy is that when you loot another player’s jetcan, you get suspect flagged and _everyone_ can engage you, not just the person who’s loot you stole. Everyone can engage you because you’ve committed a minor criminal offense (i.e. theft) and the suspect flag is CONCORD’s low-resource way of letting other capsuleers mete out punishment on their behalf because they’re too busy dealing with .CODE.

Taking an acceleration gate is not a criminal offense, so a suspect flag is inappropriate.

I’m not sure if I missed this in your original post or not, but I see in this reply that your intent is to make non-FW pilots freely enlargeable only to FW pilots, not to everyone, if they land in a FW complex. I could get more behind this idea in general; you are entering a war zone, so you should be a valid target for combatants. However, a suspect flag is not the way to do it. Plus, there is the issue of the non-gated FW locations: what if someone looking to do anomalies in a FW system accidentally warps to a large complex instead of that Blood Port that showed up on their scanner? Would they automatically get flagged as a legitimate target for FW players just because of a mis-clicked warp command? Or would going to non-gated complexes not flag a player? And if that’s the case, how do you justify the difference in flagging criteria?

In the end, it’s all too messy, and there are already ways to engage non-combatants who enter FW completes already.

Still a hard no from me. I can sympathize with the notion behind your suggestion to some extent, but in implementation it’ll just be too complicated and/or arbitrary with little actual benefit in return.
