    Just one terminal and no HN ;p

    It's similar to the DoY 10 Sector Warzone.

    About Club Veronique:

    If there was 3 hack terms (one in bottom, one in seizure room, and one up top) then fighting would move around the club more. Would need the hacked terminals to turn red or something, to indicate which ones have been hacked.

    As far as I can tell there are no warnings when a layer goes down for the faction or clan. I think it should announce the layer going down over faction chat.

    Displaying the faction that owns the club in Pepper Park 1 or elsewhere would bring more attention and prestige to owning the club. People would be more likely to fight over it.

    Rewards for owning the club like... FSM without symp check, or FSM for all allied factions, ammo vendors, medi vendors, etc. People need incentives and rewards.

    Since it's no longer a safe zone, without good reason to fight over the club, people may pvp in Pepper Park less, which is the opposite of what we all want.

    Do all 3 hackers have to be in the same clan? Or just same faction? Can clanless runners hack layers?

    Could the guards attack quicker? They give a lot of warning and aren't very defensive. They also don't have proper bullet animations and it's kinda hard to tell when one is shooting.

    Could a GR be added to the club that is linked to the PP1 GR? Like CRP and Cycrow. That way the defending clan could GR in to defend. Make it give no SI. Would be another perk for owning the club.

    Shame it's not clan owned. Populating a vendor that sells marked-up FSM items, without a symp check, to allied factions - but then gives a percentage to the owning clan would be worth fighting for.
