As far as forcing a "peacefull" faction to militarize. 2 points about this.

1. Angels are "neutral" and get no breaks: Nomads, Keepers, and Phantoms are still hostile and will attack, but they don't specifically target the angels.
2. Traders are "peacefull" and get no breaks: Pirates are hostile and will attack them. They are "forced" to militarize by hiring escorts, buying better guns, ect ect.

This is exactly what I am stating in my post. They don't discriminate between targets. The Keepers, Phantoms, and pirates will attack these people, but without discrimination. Remember that The Angels are not entirely part of the RP structure. They do RP, but they are mainly there to help out newbies.

You, on the other hand, are discriminating. This is why your RP cannot possibly fit that of a faction...it's perfect for an RP group and a group of others who are willing to RP with you, but it's far too specific for you to base it on others who are uninvolved.

Hypothetical situation:
Harvesters make Zoners the #1 enemy and KoS all Zoner ID'ed ships. (in rp ofcourse)

-- Is this any different than the order having BH as #1 enemy? NO.
-- Is this any different than humans in general (not just militaries) being the #1 enemy of nomads? NO.
-- If this were true and they did what you suggest, wouldnt that be "forcing" Zoner RP on the Harvesters, just as you say they force it on the Zoners now.

It is very very different. The BHG is a combat oriented faction, and so is the Order. The Zoners are not combat oriented. Through your personal RP involvement with the Zoners, you are changing their vanilla RP.

Finally, explain "chance" encounter...what do you mean by that exactly?

And I don't have a problem with the vagueness of your rep list...It's fine right now.

EDIT: Right...in response to your response to my hippie comment... That's because those hippies broke the law, hint hint.

Are the Zoner's breaking any laws? *Looks around* Don't think so.
