You want zones to fall into outright war and have red flashing markers on the map?
Seems fair to me.
The idea sound interessting but I wouldn't like sandpeople sniping from the hills while fighting for an OP.
Not the same as an in-game map, but you can see some sort of "hotspot" activity with op-fights via Neocron's API.
