Information about upcoming Zoner changes

[Enkidu]

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.

This is indeed a serious problem. I am considering putting together half a billion credits to rectify this.

A certain zoner faction wanted to fill this empty void.

Didn't work good for it.

(Oh, I thought we were doing all right?) It doesn't make sense to force uniformity to a group when the entire premise of that group's existence is a lack of conformity.

Depends on how much actual wealth they can accumulate by trading with others "on the fringe." Those fringe dwellers don't necessarily have the same amount of cash that the Houses do, nor the populations. So, they're not going to be buying as much.

When supply is low due to practicality (such as present dangers of the edge worlds), demand value skyrockets. All Edge and border worlds groups have to go to more extreme means to obtain the bulk goods and commodities they utilise, and are thus going to open their pockets further. House industries are inundated with supplies, and can thus afford to pay rock-bottom rates (the same economic system operates in the real world).

Zoners already play a crucial role in edge worlds trading, so much so that the surrounding groups (OC's, Corsairs, Order, Guild), see a higher value in preserving the zoners through general neutrality and the exchange of goods, than merely walking in and stealing all of their assets and space stations. You give Zoners an even more powerful trading ability, and InRp they would be ridiculously powergamed.

By attempting to nerf us in this fashion, you would actually be bestowing us insane levels of Rp power, more than we require or even are entitled to possess.

That somebody dislikes a decision does not mean that it makes less sense.

Can you elaborate a little?
