Clubs have never been very useful in Pepper Park, other than to pop in to escape death, now they are no longer safe, perhaps they could be used to encourage PVP in those area.

For example you could add a similar system as to outposts where a Clan can take control of the club by hacking various points (just an idea could be done another way). Once that clan has control of the club, the club could spawn guards inside that are of that clubs faction and perhaps offer other benefits as well such as a daily money income from the club.

Outside the club could be a sign which says the occupying clan name so everyone can see who currently has control of this.

If it works well there is no reason why this type of feature could not be used throughout pepper park, owning turf in the city would really add atmosphere to pepper park and would bring more players there to fight and give them a goal, this perhaps would keep gankers away from other places too.

You could even add faction specific features, for example Black Dragon owned clubs could spawn NPC's which sell cheap drugs, Tsunami NPC's could allow gambling, FA & Biotech could supply cheap implants, Tangent cheap weapons, Diamond cheap city apartments, these are just a few examples.
