' Wrote:outcasts long range scan shows a large group of corsairs gathered. What makes you think they WON'T take that opportunity to deal a major blow to their long time rival?

and you shouldn't be accusing anyone of acting oorp. none of the corsair leadership that is responcible for all this nonsense has come out once to say why they are fighting zoners and what they expect to get out of it.

Nearest answer i've gotten is that corsairs dont' need zoner food anymore. Which Dab and other admins have slapped down as powergaming.

Even if that was a legitimate reason. I don't need the food you have been supplying my people anymore is NOT a reason to open fire/make blockaids/rep the mass murder of countless people.(many of which could be corsairs that became zoners for more freedom, remember zoners are not a people, they are a gathering of everyone from all factions united for individual freedom.)

I've got both a corsair and a zoner character so i'm not hating on eather side but when flying in ether ship i've get to get a reason for this war from the corsairs.

The zoners have a reason that is valid, they are protecting their freeport. That is legit. What is your reason?

There are many rumors about the Corsairs being envious of the Zoners and distrusting of the Zoners. Just because you don't think it's friendly to attack them does not mean that the other Corsairs do not disagree with you. They are fulfilling their RP through attacking the Zoners and it is just as legitimate an RP as your being friendly to the Zoners.

Also, if you are a Corsair, you are a Corsair. There is once instance in vanilla which shows a Corsair who had defected, and that was the Rebel in Omicron Theta (Omicron Theta Diamondback wreck). All other instances show that when you are birthed as a Corsair, that is all you are. You are a Corsair until death. No doubt there are peculiarities, however those are few and far between who are, no doubt, hiding from the Corsairs. I really don't see any Corsairs ever renouncing their Corsair Vows (like the Rebel was documented to do) in order to live as a Zoner.

' Wrote:Your first paragraph contradicts your second.
In the first one you say that anyone can rp what they want, which is true. Then in your next paragraph you say you don't see any corsairs renouncing their corsair vows(btw there isn't any vows, your born on crete, your a corsair as far as racially, faction wise is up to your own rp. I've seen kusari bretonians. so its possible.)

Zoners come from EVERY faction.
Zoner history
quote from the wiki:
"As traders from the Edge Worlds emerged, now flying under an Independent banner, they attracted a flood of civilians who were largely impressed by the Zoners'€™ freedom and prosperity. The news of Zoners spread through Sirius attracting more and more people - craftsmen, veterans, scientists, artists and criminals - many of whom changed their identity and tore down all connections to their respective communities."
This is why when in the single player a freeport was destroyed it was such a big deal. it wasn't oh a few zoners died, oh well. It was all factions looking at that going WTF I had contacts/relatives/relations/business partners There!

another quote from the zoner history on the wiki:
most people of Sirius appreciated the Freeports as bastions of freedom where commodities could be traded and information gathered freely and unmolested by House authorities.
And I'll concede on the dab point, I saw admin on his forum name and assumed the rest so I'm wrong there. I will try to find the post where one of the admins does come out and say something though.
