Proposal: Remove Battleships from the Zoner ID.

[Echo 7-7]

Maybe if zoners didnt get so much attention I wouldn't comment like that, but granted I see the same people at the same thread, weekly-going threads, Yes it does look like a personal attack. I wonder where those self-rightousss "know-it-all" towards other factions, ya know, like colonials perhaps? Or maybe red hessians? You have to wonder now don't you?

Both the Red Hessians and the Colonials have a more acceptable basis for manufacturing their own capital ships than the Zoners.

Hessians:
- Abundant resources
- Large labour force
- Some multi-purpose manufacturing facilities
- Moderate technical expertise, some second-hand knowledge

Colonials:
- Moderate resources
- Small but well-organised labour force
- Few manufacturing facilities, but specialised
- Limited but modern technical expertise, mostly first-hand knowledge

Zoners:
- Resources dependent on region, extreme distribution
- Labour force focussed on self-sustenance, not attempting to expand
- Extremely limited manufacturing facilities
- No standard technical expertise, fluctuating between individuals.


Addendum:

The first two factions have distinct, organised fighting forces. Zoners do not. At most, Zoners might form a militia dedicated to the defense of their homes, a single freeport.


Bear in mind that this thread is not for the discussion of other factions: It is focussed solely on the merits (and lack thereof) of the Zoner ID and Battleships.
