Zoners - why they do exist?

[Arcano]

Well running up this thread.
Could an admin please answer me the idea behind this?

Cannot dock transports with more than 3,600 cargo on any base within House Sovereign Space.

I haven't found a serious definition which systems apply to this. The house space systems once were described at the forum.

I would say it is written in rules quite clearly:

Liberty
Sovereign House Space: New York*, Alaska, California, Colorado, Illinois, Ontario, Texas, Virginia.

Bretonia
Sovereign House Space: New London*, Cambridge, Manchester, Newcastle, Poole

Rheinland
Sovereign House Space: New Berlin*, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Munich, Stuttgart

Kusari
Sovereign House Space: New Tokyo*, Hokkaido, Honshu, Kyushu, Shikoku

Gallia
Sovereign House Space: Ile-de-France*, Anjou, Berry, Burgundy, Dauphine, Maine, Orleanais, Picardy

What really concerns me is the logic and idea behind banning a Zoner vessel from a Zoner base.
As it is currently the Zoner ID is not usable above 3,600 cargo. Nerfing an ID in some way, but making it useless shouldn't be an idea behind balancing something.

Reason is simple, without this restriction Zoner ID would became totally overpowered for trading and the server would be full of zoner traders, because you could dock everywhere except Gallia with 5k train, including Outcast, Corsair, Core and Order bases.

Good working search engine.
Talking about Zoner bases though. I don't talk about Core, Sairs....but It seems these systems don't contain zoner bases.
