I greatly welcome a space law rewrite! Currently, the best use of space law is to be flung at someone's face with comedic purpose, as the contents inside are quite outdated. I quite like most of what's written, besides a few spelling mistakes, but i just have a few comments about specific parts of the current preview:
While letting people know that being maliciously harassed is important to recognize and ahelp, the inclusion of the last line sadly messes up the immersion a little bit. I believe that considering the rules about ahelping such behavior are generally very visible when connecting that this last line could be removed.
The lines about Grand theft, theft and B&E in protected areas lists that ONLY the armory, ai upload and ai core are considered protected areas. The book is meant to be used as a set of loose guidelines and i'm not sure about making these specific zones the de facto 'protected' ones to be looked after. Arguments could be made for head offices and other zones such as security, but since this might differ from person to person and depends on situation i'd personally remove the line entirely.
I am personally a bit unsure about this one, as it appears to be confusing. First, the way it is worded makes it seem like this punishment should be applied directly after a first offense if the criminal proves to not be part of NT. I assume that this is meant for changelings, vampires and otherwise. The inclusion of the following entry stating that capital punishment is to be considered on repeat offenses also, in my opinion, makes this line redundant. I also do not see why only exile should be considered in such a case.
Lastly, the addition of a small closing blurb would be cool for immersion and could serve as a way to sneak in a joke or two to lighten the mood after the overall serious wording.
All in all though, a welcome addition!
Quote:Harassment:
To behave in a way meant to distress, annoy or torment someone.
IF YOU OR SOMEONE ELSE IS GETTING PURPOSEFULLY AND MALICIOUSELY HARASSED, AHELP IT!

Quote:Capital punishment may be warranted in the following cases:
The criminal is not an NT employee. Based on this grounds ONLY EXILE is allowed, unless one of the other conditions have been met.
