Quote:zonerzonerzoner arose because of their much vaunted (and, lets be honest, viewed with green eyes) neutrality and immense zoi. they were neutral to everything and could go everywhere.
Exactly! There should be some give in there somewhere, right? Why should such a neutral faction with such a big ZOI also have the benefit of such an amazing capship line, when that doesn't even necessarily suit their lore/RP? Honestly, I'd be happy letting Zoners keep their BSes if they actually had more in-game enemies, but that's not the case.
Quote:I don't think that there should be a complete audit of every single decision made, with input from every single faction, but is it too hard to have a post like this?
Maybe it's not that hard to have such a discussion. But when said faction rejects those said changes, or doesn't like all of them? Or what about when there are 2-3 different Official Factions and not all agree on the same changes? I can appreciate where the Devs may have wanted to avoid a little headache, especially if they'd anticipated the blowback they might get for such a a suggestion.
And, in the Zoner case, it wasn't about giving them new toys, per se, but changing their toys to fit who they are. Bad Analogy: You don't give a carpenter a welding mask and a tennis racket. You give him a hammer and nails.
