So, bases

[Thyrzul]

But who decides what "abuse" is? I'll have you know that for all intents and purposes that Kappa Defense Station is just as "abusive" as Mal FP was to me - they both shoot at me for no reason, although unlike Baffin I have no business in O74.

Again, the difference between the two is that while Mal Fp was intended to be Zoner IFF'd, but otherwise neutral, and the lockdown only happened due to two abusive outcasts in zoner caps, and lasted to a very short time, and of course while it lasted TAZ people offered a way to get through anyways, then the Kappa Defense Station initiated lockdown due to it's owners frakking up their relations with like everybody in their vicinity, and now waging their second war so far.

The difference between the two is that Mal FP was alone, blocked down one entrance of the system and only for a short period of time, while ZA managed to lock down all entrances into the system, and so far they wage their second war in a short period of time of their existence. Compare how long Mal FP lived and how long it was set to hostile with the ZA bases and their time of being set to hostile.

TAZ is the official authority in Baffin, and had to use the station to deal with abusers of Zoner hospitality and breakers of the pentabarf. "Collateral damage", innocents hurt in the process been reimbursed if they contacted them to my knowledge. ZA is a new party in O74, and by no means hold authority over the system, yet they used the stations for their own needs, conduct nomad research against the wishes of the Order, and taking over the system.

In my book, the actions of ZA constitute as abusement of game mechanics and powergaming.
