Proposal: Remove Battleships from the Zoner ID.

[Echo 7-7]

Zoners have only one shipyard, and that still is in a Guard system and is ergo non-lore. While other vanilla factions which did not have shipyards in vanilla now have Guard system shipyards producing Capital Ships, Zoners are by far the worst offenders and abusers of the privilege they have been granted. You perpetuate the myth amongst yourselves that the ships, which since they are by game mechanics battleship and cruiser-class, are warships - which they are not.

It's not guard system anymore. It's lost the status as Omicroners were disbanded. So 74 is Disco canon.

Jinx too was quick to correct me on this in PM.

When the Omicroners disbanded, Omicron-74 lost its status as a faction-owned system (a feature which has been mostly redundant in the last few years). Furthermore, the ruling was that all guard systems are considered non-lore unless surrendered to the Devs for "integration" into mod lore. While I recognise that the Phoenix have no intention to prevent said normalisation, I personally take the view that integration isn't fully realised until the Devs have had an opportunity to actually examine the system, and possibly make changes as necessary. However, for general purposes, the system is basically on its way to being a lore system.
