What would be a neat idea is giving the vindicator a power that allows a temporary prevention of losing cabal powers in the instance they deem it necessary to raid a cabal that has enough criminals or active criminals.

Sadly, this would require coding, which to beat a dead horse, is not available at the current time.

This is the penalty for raiding non-enemies as a tribunal, you lose your powers for a few days which isn't too bad for the expensive of raiding non-enemies. The only one who is void of this punishment is the vindicators, but if they are using their powers haphazardly, then sadly you'll probably get removed from that position.
