Hey, I wear a Zoner cap too but as many have said, I never have felt nor am I immune to a tax. Fortunately, most pirates have been pretty kool with me. One thing I won't do, and some pirates do it, is when they blast my ship and then demand tax. Yes, it has happened to me. And if I've come out of a jump hole or something and find someone on the other side immediately popping me with CD missiles, don't expect a cordial response!

Zoners are not immune to piracy. Pirate them at will - but be aware that Zoners have a long reach and life may get unpleasant as a result. Docking rights for zoner freeports withheld, no more food shipments from the freeports, sirius wide bounty on your head - that sort of thing. Gneisenau found this out recently and ended up making amends...
Quote:Our target (Gneisenau) has presented himself at the abode of Eris, and pledged his future respect for Her and Her servants, the TAZ. There was also a stipend for the Church coffers. Bless you, Gneis. May you always find slack, and drive a nice incunabula.

Its just like this.

Your in 2nd Grade and Girls act like Jerks and say "You can't do nothing! I'm a girl!"
When there is really nothing stopping you from slapping them across the face and setting them straight.

Okay maybe that was a bad example... and now that I read it it sounds wrong O_o

But its just like that... They can hide behind it but all you have to do is extend your hand and snatch it away.

As a Zoner trader and explorer I never feel that I should be exempt from taxing. In fact when pirates let me pass because I'm a Zoner I feel a little bad, like I'm cheating the system. I play a Zoner because I like to explore and run all over Sirius, not because I want a free pass when trading.

Thats why I created a Zoner a while back.

I like the freedom to travel all over sirrius, but in roleplay I was allways polite to everyone.

would you rather...

Me: Greeting Corsair

Corsair: Zoner.....

Me: fell I should warn you there are a large number of Bounty Hunters through that Jump hole. More then even a mighty warrior like your self could possibly face alone.

Corsair: Thanks for the warning, guess I'll have to go get some reinforments and teach those bounty hunter scum a lesson.

Me: *cruise off*


or....
Corsair:Zoner.....

Me: BUGGER OF YOU STUPID CORSAIR!!!

Corsair: Why you little.... *Powers weapons*

Me: YOU DARE TOUCH ME AND THE WRATH OF THE ZONERS SHALL FALL DOWN APON YOU!!!

Me: *dies in fiary explosion*

Corsair: *Bared from all Freeports and has a massive bounty placed on his head but by God it was worth it*.

Yeah thats the problem, if Zoner trader says to Corsair: You cant kill me, Im a Zoner. ... I think the Corsair should kill him:DTheese two have friendly relations, thats why the like (kinda) each other, but saying that is like having tatoo "Kill me please" on forehead.

Thats why I was wiondering about topic creator faction and what the Zoner said... If it was " U cant touch me ima a zoner" then yeah,l tax him to death, if it was "Oh, Greetings, I think that...blah bla" then no.

That's how I approach Corsairs, Outcasts or any pirate type. Quite often some good intell is better than credits or cargo.

God that's what happens to me. I could be 6k away not even moving towards him, and he alredy screaming diplomatic immunity etc. Threats with juggernauts is also a common practice. They'll also take up your time until half the system is loaded with BH capwhores.

This is also why I don't really like even making demands in system chat everyone who can interfere will. From BHs, freelancers, and either other traders screaming out "DON'T LISTEN TO HIM!11!" It's very stressful.
