Corsair - Zoner

[spikefin]

Yeah alright, I understand that. Non-communication does make RP impossible and serves more as a total disrupting factor than an atmosperic one in reality.

Thanks for answering my total off-topic questions, but I really think you ought to coordinate your efforts in a council though

Wont catch me disagreeing, Im my view, Which people may share or not, We have the making of a great group, We just have to meet in the middle.

Im a roaming zoner, Im not tied down, and don't want to be. But, As a zoner i understand that there's a price for my freedoms.

As such recently I was seen hanging about FP9 and informing people of the docking lockdown for all non-zoners issued by TAZ.

In my opinion, Zoners need to be zoners, but we need an administration to sometimes kick our butt, It also makes sence, That that administration would have a "Diplo subgroup" group, A "Militant subgroup" group, A "Trading subgroup" group

So lets just say we took my zoner tag

".:Z:." Indie, Acknowledges and abides by "Council"
".:Z:.Trans" Zoner Transport Official Division part of the council (OSI)
".:Z:.Milt" Zoner Military Branch part of council ((]o[)) (Zoner Defenders, FP protectors, Zoner Gaurd it was called back in the day)
".:Z:.Diplo Zoner Diplomats part of the council (Taz)
".:Z:.Admin Zoner Council

First up, a zoner tag really should be obvious to all hence why my ship is .:Z:. tagged, Havnt had anyone flee from me thinking i was something i wasn't or attack under a incorrect pretence, Even from accross the system.

I even get the newbie whispers "Are you a zoner" And im able to help were i can, I can see why a pirate shouldn't be this obvious. But a zoner...

Second up I just made up those tags, I don't suggest they are it, Just that the common naming link should be used and it should be obvious to almost everyone, that we are a zoner we have nothing to hide.

Using this sort of council would IMO render this situation non-existant, The .:Z:.Milt was in charge of protecting FP and failed, council responds somehow, .:Z:.Milt finds a way through with the diplo help of taz.

Obviously, This is basicly what we once had, by another name, And corsairs didn't like it (So im told)

Also, When i was a zoner, Long time ago (Still indie) You ask a zoner the law at a FP and he knew it.

Firing in 14km of FP = BAD
Hovering at FP for more than 5 minutes = BAD this includes dock/undock/dock
Runnig to FP after sheilds reduced to 50% = BAD if attacker still in 14km range

Even as a zoner, I was frequently sent away from freeports because i was idling to long.

At least thats the ones i knew, why did i know this? How did they enforce it? It was simple

SS or it didn't happen

Every ship can see a player at 14k, when you engage, gun cam it at 50% sheild reduction, If the dude runs SS it as he enters NFZ.

So if on your scanner FP1 is 23km away and your chasing a guy (PlayerX) straight for FP1 (Can see FP's at 23km usually or keep chasing closer, you both have same cruise)

If PlayerX who is on your scanner is 10km ahead of you... This means playerX is in NFZ take screenshot.

It wasn't that hard really, From what i saw, Back then. Since i was indie, I only dealt with it when i saw what happened anyway.

From memory, If you open your nav map, select zone of influence, 14km is the default FP zone displayed on map as well.

A player getting attacked in NFZ, Dosn't matter if it started 3 systems ago, The attacker can and should file paperwork, NFZ's are about the protection of our people Hes firing, He is guilty as well never was any excuse or tolerance.

Black and white.

The claim, Weather true or not, founded or unfounded. Is that raiders were launching from and returning to FP, The only founded way for Corsairs to know this, is if they followed them back, That would mean Guncam images should have been taken, and rules followed.

I don't know if they were or wern't.

And the last thing i remember from my zoner days, If you posted the report wrong (Ie 500 pages of text, 20 SS or 50 people comming into comment on same thing no time stamps.

"Request denied! Fill out the correct paperwork"

2 Screen-shots was nearly all it ever took.

/set chattime <on/off>

I think that was the important server command.

EDIT: Maybe a constructive Corsair can tell me why the old way wasn't any good. I left and it seemed fine (I know it was pre Galia) Came back and ....
