I think it would be better if you started from scrap if you wanted a do-over.
If you aren't Zoners, you've been parasites in the Zoner community, and it seems a bit too "Mary-Sue" to just ditch that part of your faction when that is convenient.
My 2 cents.
EDIT: You even linked to this thread in the sanction thread, and I think that's pretty weaksauce. But hey, at least you are clear about your motives.
