Information about upcoming Zoner changes

[Trogdor]

The mountain of extra work required?
The frustration of having to do backflips to reclaim something they already put the work into obtaining?

SRPs are pretty easy now, if you really want your battleship turrets that badly.

1) So I get to pay 250 million credits to keep a ship I've already paid for and repped. Joy.
2) My every action will be scrutinized by the admins, my roleplay now needs to meet a much higher standard of quality, and I need to keep churning out new roleplay to meet the 'check-in' requirements. Again, to retain something I already had, was enjoying, and not abusing. That kind of pressure sounds like fun.
3) "The SRP application must have an extensive forum background". Most of my roleplay has been ingame, as was acceptable up until now.

It's not just about the turrets. It's about everything that a capital ship represents, a ship designed to protect and fight for the nation that built it. The Zoners, being a major backbone of quasilegal trade, have at least as much justification to field these ships as the Corsairs, Outcasts, and Hessians do. Space is dangerous, and the Zoners need to be able to stick up for themselves on this level.

Also, there's the question of "why are the devs doing this at all?"

I think I've explained this several times over the past 50 pages.

Most of your posts that I have read in this thread have been bickering over whether this whole thing is a vendetta. If you have indeed explained why, and don't feel like repeating yourself, could you at least give me an idea on which pages I should be looking?

Not because of any actual problem going on, such as rampant abuse.

See: most of my posts about this.

Where are all the Zoner BS sanction reports then? In countless threads on this subject in the past, people claim 'the lolwuts' are abusing them. Yet they never have any evidence to validate that this abuse is actually taking place.

When the official factions submit lore changes to us, we make that happen.

When no one submits any lore changes, well, we have to make some up ourselves.

Indicative of an actual problem with the Zoners that should be addressed. We need an official faction that actually looks out for the overall wellbeing of the Zoners. What we have right now would be like if IC and the Junkers were the official factions of the Liberty Navy. TAZ and OSI only tend to their own roleplay (as they should) but this leaves a vaccuum.
