My billionaire playboy philanthropist is the only Jinkusu that was ever RPed as a colony ship (to my knowledge), having some 1,500 people on it + supplies (as cargo)
And everyone should remember Saronsens reign of Freeport 11
NO. FIRE. ZONE.

It's like Kronos turning into Zephyr in a next mod. I don't like it, but whatever - majority of community wants it.
There's will be always stinky people.

I just trust TAZ and Phoenix Zoners more RP-wise with something of that firepower than lolwut-ZA.

Yeah, tho when the nomads came and obliterated Minor, I am pretty sure the Order was all "...yeah...we short of wish the Zoners had more caps 'bout right now..''

I like the suggestion. No, not because I have one and am in the Phoenix, but because something that big/powerful/beautiful (in my eyes) should be earned and thought put into it, not "Hey look what I can buy!". If I had mine taken away, ok. If I want one that badly again, if it gets taken away, I'll SRP it. I had an old Jinkusu that I RP'd as a Freeport back in 2011. Loved it, had fun, though nowadays, it's rebuilt as a Nephilim and it is to RP bringing or moving research supplies around in the fringes, or was stationed in O49 for help to GC. There is my SRP justification, albeit stated briefly.
Anyway, enough on what I did personally with mine. If it gets taken away from people who valued it and actually RP'd with it and don't want to join a faction, SRP it. With how cheap it is to SRP, you won't lose much, and if you have a good RP reasons for it, then whats the problem?
Many other factions have it so only official factions get larger ships. Many don't, but many do. How is it a bad thing? For those who really care about having a BS in their arsenal, as I said, then either join said faction who has it, or SRP one. Otherwise, ask why you/your char NEEDS one in the first place?
/end rant
Long live booze and women. And booze.

Sounds like good idea. I'd also say remove cruisers with exception of Corvo. And remove Fearless completely from mod or change it somehow for another faction like IMG.
Mobile Freeports RP sounds like... err, well, it sounds bad after introduction of PoBs.

I can easily suggest to close selling points as long as I get to keep mine, and that seems to be the way a lot of people think about, and I can just leave it there, I'm almost tempted but its not in my nature, so I'll add.
Aside from the obvious "zoners can develop such things" and why it is logical for them to have and ABCD , once you strip a ship because of any lore excuse then you might as well strip them all. Disco lore is not vanilla lore.

No, it's just heavily based on it.
And Zoners having caps is mostly a wet dream of some developer making their 7th remodel of the Juggernaut.
Jerkin' off constantly doesn't make you a better lover, by the way.
RE: Proposal: Remove Battleships from the Zoner ID. - Zen_Mechanics - 08-22-2013
No, wrong. Capital ships are man-made exclusively for disco to make sense of things ( among other things ) - in other words, its all put there to make disco what it is, and this is even more true in regards.of zone lore
