@Dark Light A critical point has to be something your group owns that another group can capture, as such, I don't think Diplomatic Immunity or the Space Bar qualify. Space Station Superior and the Dead Planet would, for example, be critical points.
In short, if you nerf both of those items to the extents you are saying, @Circ, our group will no longer be able to exist as it ruins the lore for not only the group as a whole, but also several of our individual backstories. Ceraun is one of the last of her kind because of the destruction of her planet. Take away that, and I have to completely rewrite my character, her race, and everything involved. As it stands, I don't really have the desire to completely redo my PC.
