Note to self: Faction territory

[jpcsupplies]

If i reworked the code for the LCD region popup in lobby, i could make a faction territory mod.. need to resolve issue of the #8 (popup opening every time someone enters it) first tho.

Further thinking:
Create a marker like lcd to claim territory for a faction.
Break up territories into generic 20km boxes, auto create a gps at the middle of each territory.
Needs to be able to handle multiple claims, eg "Disputed" claim markers could follow ships so hostile ships automatically flag a territory as disputed.
Have a hud indicating owner of territory
Have a popup warning when entering territory
Have a popup/message sent to owning faction of incursions
generate a html file in global mapping out territories? (be nice if this went server side too)
unclaimed territories mark as unclaimed on gps
gps updates based on coords since we are using fixed 20km cubes to break up a map that way entering a sector that changed hands updates its gps marker
Runs almost entirely client side (means the map is specific to what that player has explored)
configurable size cubes?
proof of concept for economy plugin, set an entry tax for entering hostile territories
