One thing that I would like to be able to do in SMAC is to "own" an entire island so that whenever some rival unit lands I can ask it to leave and have the right to make it if it's faction doesn't listen.
In the current system of borders this is rather diffcult to do, since it might require you to build bases in rather poor geographical conditions. I see two possible solutions:
1)if you control a certain amount (for instance 95%) of the surface of an island with bases and there are no bases of rival factions present on the island your borders automatically follow the coastline.
2) your "settlers" can build borderposts, that extend your borders, but don't have any other benficies.

Borders are mearly political lines on a map !!!
Politically speaking your idea is ok ... but it takes the fun out of things ... I like taking advantage of a rival's mistake !!!
