Actions and Reputations - Firebird - 01-31-2006
Here's the problem. We have AW selecting a Zoner reputation to be able to dock at both Corsair and Outcast bases in their area of influence. But we also have them defending their territory with such zeal that it doesn't really match the reputation they've selected.
IMO, I think AW has two options:
1. Choose between either the Corsairs or Outcasts to better match their actions
or
2. Adjust their actions to match the reputation they've choosen.
What's your opinion on the matter and does anyone else have some ideas/solutions?

If they want to be zoners, they can't be barking orders about having people leave the system.
Now if they want to, align themselves with corsairs *OR* outcasts and give up any outcast/corsair systems.
My two bits. Can't have it both ways.
My Trader's aligned to be NEUTRAL to corsairs since I do a lot of VIP running through theta, sigma 17. Hessians still hate me though.
My 8492nd characters are aligned to THe Order, and as such, neutral t just about everyone.

Me too, option 2 is what everyone else has done.
If Dab is going to keep on trying to throw pirates out of the Omicrons then it won't solve anything.
It seems like Dab will still try to keep players whose rep is aligned with the Corsairs or Outcasts out of the systems owned by Corsairs and Outcasts regardless of which option or faction the AW chooses.
Besides which the zoners only patrol their trade routes and their bases, they don't claim any systems so if Dab goes with option 2 then the AW will be guarding Zoner bases and ships, not systems.

I prefer option two too. I will still attack Phantoms and people hostile to us though. Since we are supposed to be neutral to Corsairs and Outcasts thats why I have been allowing pirates in Gamma and Alpha. I only attack Damned and ask him to get out because he has attacked AW before, and he shot first. Same thing with Sauron he also attacked when I told the phantoms to get out.
And since we have adopted the "zone of influence" way of territory then we don't "control" the systems we have a zone of influence in them just like zoners are active in Gamma and Alpha and the Sigmas.

Yeah, but you CANNOT TELL THEM TO GET OUT, LET ALONE ASK THEM!
You can only ask them to leave a base. There is a *HUGE* difference between the two concepts, Dab.

The Zoners don't even go into Omicron Alpha and Gamma, your reasoning falls down right there.
The only ships you'll find in Alpha are the BH and the Outcasts and in Gamma it's the BH, Corsairs and the Nomads. There are no Zoners in Alpha or Gamma, not even near the Jump-Holes.
