' Wrote:A tiny minority of the Zoners are very rich. The players. The rest are in poverty/poor, as is a logical side-effect of living in the middle of no-where, with no resources save those you make yourself. The ;argest ship you will ever find a Zoner NPC flying is a Dromedray. I get tired of the image people paint of the Zoners, especially when it's that each and every one of them are multi-billionaires.
Seems like you don't know much about Zoners. Try reading up on them. They live in the middle of no where, produce resources other people out there need and make huge profits from selling said resources.
Zoners get tired of people like you who think that the way you view Zoners is the way they should be.
Speaking of Zoners... I have been having the hardest time trying to get my Zoner ID! I have done the bribes at Freeport 6 twice but I'm still not on the right terms for an ID. Would any generous Zoner mind helping me? I still am lost as to where other Zoner bases are
1-Start at Pennsylvania.
2- Fly to Bethlehem Station (Zoner Base)
3- Bribe 3x Zoners. (Note: Before taking the bribe, look at the other bribes. If you see 3 at the same time, get them)
4- Congrats!!! You are a Zoner!
We trade our asses off because we get so bored living in the middle of nowhere, we also sit in massive caps and taunt the silly people who dare to even power up their weapons near our freeports because we get so bored living in the middle of nowhere.
Oh and we hook up with the Order and go pew some Nom noms from time to time too because we get so bored living in the middle of nowhere.
I guess I find it amusing, seeing the various takes on what Zoners are and what they do, or can do. I would suggest that Zoners are consumate traders and very skilled in the art of negotiation and diplomacy. Both of my zoners are TAZ, which adds yet another flavor to my rp. And yes, I do RP. But this thing about crying that a zoner tag makes you immune to piracy is bullcrap. I get hit up occasionally. But in a Zwhale, there is not much to do but smile and hand over the credits... chalking it up to the cost of doing biz. Still, the roleplay is awesome when you find it. Love us, Hate us... it doesn't really matter to me, as long as you realize that we are very much a part of this community and will continue to be regardless of nerfs, or balance or whatever you wish to call it. It isn't the ships... it's the people...that make it worthwhile.

Ya know what, what I find is that most people hate us Zoners, which I'm fail to understand.
Yes, we do extensive RP, probably more than most factions since we don't get "ENGAGIGN red" every 5 minutes most of the time. Being a Zoners gives us freedom, freedom to develop our characters in anyway we wish, not just restricted to a soldier/officer or criminal/smuggler as most factions suggest.
So Zoners have loose RP and are pretty much an organisation of Freelancers with some traits. (I know this sounds ambiguous but it's the best I can do)

And I had an almost two long hour RP with Sprolf by taking the leader of DSE on a tour of my Juggernaut: The Teralia. It was very amusing because all the newbs gathered around to see a Barge side-by-side with a Jinkusu and the epic RP that went on.
