As reflected in the update Zoner polcies, the NFZ has changed drastically. No longer do we care if you shoot one another within the NFZ. We only care if you shoot a Zoner or damage Zoner property within the NFZ.
I'll use Freeport 10 as an example. If a Bounty Hunter and Outcast want to shoot one another near Freeport 10. Skullz doesn't give a crud unless one (or both) of them hit the station or for some reason shoot a Zoner that is present.
That's not an NFZ anymore than. Cus there is fire, so it's no longer no-fire zone see? You just say you can't shoot Zoners in it. Well I dunno but... isn't that like that with every faction. And not restricted to an area really.

It isn't the NFZ everyone is used too, but it is still a NFZ; just in a different form. Zoners occupy space that other factions lay claim too. This NFZ serves as a protective shield for Zoners and Zoners alone. Gone are the days of the NFZ protecting the mortal enemy of our neighbors.
This change was agreed upon by most of the indy Freeport admins, OSI, TAZ, and the Omicroners. Each Freeport is allowed to modify its own NFZ, so you will see some variation in them.
Sorry but no one cares about the NFZ let alone respect it in rp. The issues that was brought up from the last Freeport 10 incident proved this, and was the finial straw.

What happened to the path from the Theta to the Kappa holes?
The Omicroners closed it.

The same has always gone for the NFZ. The NFZ isn't a server rule, it is a RP device. If you don't care about the consequences of your action, there is nothing stopping you from shooting a Zoner. That has been proven time and time again.
I don't understand what is so odd about this change. The NFZ has always protected Zoners. Always. We are merely removing the protection of other people that has caused us nothing but grief (inRP and ooRP). In the past if you shot a Zoner outside the NFZ there could be consequences. In the past if you shoot one inside the NFZ there was a consequence. Both are still the case.
