Unoffical faction: ZSF - Marcus - 10-07-2008
Any comments, suggestions or constructive criticism are welcome.
Zoner special forces
Faction name:
ZSF- Zoner Special Forces
Motto:
si vis pacem, para bellum - if you want peace, prepare for war
Tag:
Zoner ID
IFF:
Zoner
Faction Tag:
ZSF-
ZoI:
Omicron Theta, main base being Freeport 9
All other Freeports
Patrols may be seen anywhere in sirius
Description:
The ZSF doesn't exist, no Zoner will acknowledge it's existance. The Zoners deny that the ZSF attack any faction who threaten freeports and to attack factions to keep them from becoming threats. As any Zoner will say they don't attack Corsair and outcast targets to escalate the war between them so they tie up their reasources, nor have they ever raided Red hession transports to reprive them of weapons to force them to buy from Zoners and they don't ambush junker or honshu patrols to eliminate Zoner competitors. They wouldn't do that. If they existed. As any Zoner will tell you.
Backstory:
In the early days of the Zoners when the first freeports were being built it was realised that there would always be groups that would become powerful enough to decide that the Zoners would be more trouble then they were worth. The Zoner Special Forces were created from the old latin saying: si vis pacem, para bellum - if you want peace, prepare for war. The Zoners wanted peace, peace is profitable, but was is also profitable and the ZSF were there to ensure both. Over the years the ZSF sercetly played one side agaist the other always making sure that no one gained the upper hand. Random attacks on faction patrols were conducted silently, the destruction of the ships blamed on the other side. If any ZSF was seen the Zoners simply said the it was a freelancer or a rouge Zoner using their ships. However during the Nomand war many of the ZSF were destroyed defending the freeports, since then they have remained in a diminished state and have only recently begun to stretching out their hand again.
Goal:
To protect Zoner interests by any means, and attack factions who could threaten Zoner freeports or Zoners in general.
Role playing:
Be protective of Zoners, suppotive of allies, follow a RP more like The Order as they are a serect organisation and work behind the scenes like the ZSF.
Code Of Conduct: -Follow server rules
-Be in RP
-Be reasonable
-Don't mistreat people, we're all here for the fun.
-Do what your CO tells you
Allies:
[color=#33FF33]Zoners- As they are Zoners
The Order- In their early days agents of the ZSF encontered The Order. Realising the threat of the nomands the ZSF allied themselves with The Order who provided knowledge about the nomand ships helping the ZSF to succesfully defend many of the border world freeports.
GMG- The ZSF goal is to prevent threats to the Zoners not to eliminate trade. As the GMG is the primary supplyer of H fuel it is in the best interests of the ZSF to ensure the consant and uninterupted supply of H fuel, thus fueling the ships of trades who buy and sell at freeports. It is in the best interests of Zoners to protect the interests of the GMG.
Neutral:
[color=#FFFFFF]House factions- as they do a good enough job of fighting themselves
House Corporations
[color=#FF0000]Enemies/unfriendly:
Vary depending on threat level, but mainly pirates
Ships:
Fighters: Viper, Viper MkII, Eagle (and other civilian ships like it)
Bombers: Civilian bomber
Gun Boats: (Zoner Gunboat when created)
Cruisers/destroyers: Zoner Destroyer
Battleships: Zoner Juggernaut, Battlestar, Battlestar Advanced,
Ranks:
Trial people: Officer Cadets - able to fly Heavy Fighters or Light Fighters
Sub Lieutenant - able to fly Heavy Fighters or Light Fighters
Flight Lieutenant - able to fly bombers or below (maybe gunboats)
Wing Commander - able to fly destroyers or below
Group Captain - able to fly destroyers or below
Commodore - able to fly Battleships or below (only 1 person can achieve this rank)
Admiral - able to fly battleships or below (only 1 person can achieve this rank)
Limits on amount of people per rank will be decided later.
It is unlikely that the ZSF will go for an official faction status as that would put us on the map, which isn't what the ZSF is about.

Yay, more zoner factions... wait, what? There's too many already, and too many proposals for more.
You've been here less than a month according to your account join date, you really shouldnt be trying to start factions yet.
Other issues with your "faction":
The zoners are not a violent group, they dont go attacking people to "prevent them from becoming a threat", and they only act aggressively in self defense of their ships and their freeports. If you want to make a zoner faction, make one that follows the standard zoner background - eccentric faction ideas dont fly well around here.
It sounds to me like you want to create a faction that has access to lots of capships, and is capable of using nearly any other ship in the game, while being able to conduct 'terrorist' attacks on everyone that you see as a potential threat. That is not how zoners behave.
If you want to make a "team america: world police!" faction, you're best off going with bounty hunters.

(I am a member of the ZSF)
' Wrote:You've been here less than a month according to your account join date, you really shouldnt be trying to start factions yet.technically it is one month and two days... *whistles*

The aim is not for all out war, but rather a buisness arangement with either side to make the feud profitable

The role of the ZSF mean that the zoners get to behave as they currently do...
I see it as the house corperations as a well known company, say JB-Hi Fi, Myre, Target... Whatever you yanks have got... Wall-Mart I suppose.... verses a little street market.... the street market will be destroyed without a second glance by the huge corperations... so we have to find a way to make money, and conflict is always a good seller!
' Wrote:If you want to make a "team america: world police!" faction, you're best off going with bounty hunters.Bounty Hunters don't care about pirates (in RP) they would only attack if there was a bounty put out on a person, not simply because they're a lane hacker.
But the ideas may be considered...
and don't think why bother adding any more ideas because I rebute some, I'm just trying to put my ideas forth too
Unoffical faction: ZSF - Lucend - 10-07-2008
I like it.
As long as your roleplay on the server is good and wholesome, I think you'll find you can operate.
This notion of "Zoners don't attack anything" is technically right, but then again what the popular perception is and what actually happens are two completely different things. You can't seriously expect me to believe that a faction that has more money than most Borderworld factions and their own shipline won't use it to fuel themselves.
As long as you don't do anything obvious that would call into question your neutrality as a Zoner, staying in the shadows and what not, then it should be interesting.
Unoffical faction: ZSF - Eternal - 10-07-2008
Actually , I like the concept alot.
I have been trying to figure out what keeps Zoners so .... peacefull and trouble free. Some of my ideas came simular to this concept , but most where too groosom and dark to suggest faction creation. Anyway , you have a "Yes" from me. But , and that is a BIG but , your role play ingame needs to be examplary. Also , if you haven't done that yet , contact some of the more recodnisable Zoner players online for there opinion / TAZ members , Jinx / having there support will aid this faction alot. Also , I see that the story you have provided is indeed ... short. It may contain all the information that a player would need to know about this group , but it's just not enought in my opinion. What I would like to see in the story are some examples what this group did , names , dates and some interesting developments. Such a faction would easily have a very interesting story to tell.

I like the idea mate.
there should be more unorthodox and unique faction ideas. if we all are slaves to the current rp or current view what can ever change?
hell god knows that some of the best factions in the past on this server would never be allowed: HF, Helghast, ELF..................
also i think the SCRA was started a month after Aeon and Koolmo joined way back when, but dont quote me...
Unoffical faction: ZSF - Dillon - 10-07-2008
Keep the comments comming guys!
Now does anyone think that we should start recruiting? ro still wait whil I get in contact with other Zoner factions and atlas works some more on the background?
Suggestions?
Unoffical faction: ZSF - Eternal - 10-07-2008
Am ... please wait for the reqruiting.
New players MIGHT make a realy bad impression on others. Work on the background.
Unoffical faction: ZSF - Dillon - 10-07-2008
Fair enough... When atlas gives the go ahead recruiting will begin...

Quote:Enemies/unfriendly:

Will you attack pirates/unlawfuls that leave you alone? Because a zoner has no enemies and an attack on a pirate that leaves you alone is a PVP abuse. Admins did sanction a number of zoner attacks before, and you might check with them to see if this is possible.
