Information about upcoming Zoner changes

[puppytaste]

Have you successfully defended against a raid by battleships with only gunboats?

Yep. I've also done it with bombers too.
Contrary to popular belief, caps aren't the only ships that can kill.

I challenge you to head into o99, find a Marduk, and take it down with the bomber of your choosing. You do that and ill eat my week old socks.

But Zoners shouldn't use guns, it's against their lore!

So why are people complaining?

I dunno man, if pirates attacking Zoners they may call for swarm of Osirises to help. Order is Zoner militia, I think everyone forgot about that.

Alright. I'll just go gather some locals to help me shoot it, like I should be doing.

No, you are a Zoner. There are no locals in the omicrons. You have to do it alone.

I can understand the reasons for this decision, might even agree with it. There's just one little thing however that makes me say: "Please, just don't do this."

You see, I don't play as a zoner, I don't usually involve myself in all these discussion threads either. But the thing that worries me so much here is that you want to retcon years of RP by at least tens of players. Your reasons are understandable, but they should have been brought up years ago. The Zoners were made into their current state and it's too late to change it now. Retconning so much will destroy a lot of RP created over the years. It will do more harm than good.

Eventually you'll also find that it's not the way to acquire resources for cloaks. That reasoning as a tool for duck hunting would be null and void. You may as well eat not only those week old socks but an old hat too, good sir.

Yeah LNS guys suits for 99 much better.

Either way that mumorpuger-style battleship farming would be a thing of a past.

Hmm, do Zoners have capable Zoner-line bombers? I forget. IIRC they have access to Rocs and Warans, but a dedicated Zoner bomber designed for defense would be cool.
