well, i d have to bluntly say "its not my business what they can do" - if they choose the role of guardians of zoners, they have to live with boredom.... . one of the sideeffects of guarding a faction with no enemies:laugh:
** that means, if the "guards of zoners" is the central issue about the faction **
if - however, they want to have more action around, then they should indeed not be zoners - like i said in the beginning.... the point is ... they cannot have both, which was said multiple times, too. - but i think it needs some time to really sink in.
the point i want to make is - i am all for a guardforce of zoners in theta - and its not a pointless duty, too. - i am sure there times when those people in theta wished for a respecatable and neutral / unbiased force that tries to keep the peace. - but a faction that won t shoot at the slightest sign of violating those rules of respect. - ( but rather a faction that takes conflicts to a RP base - and so, rather delegates the fighting to those that do it by profession ... that means... if the corsairs make trouble - ask the BHG to deal with it... if the BHG makes trouble, ask the corsairs to deal with it... if the outcasts make trouble - ask the BHG or the corsairs etc etc. )
the strength of zoners is not to fight, but to let others fight. - if the AW did that,.... things could work out well. - of course, the AW wouldn t need many combat ships then. - the sheer knowledge that they CAN if they want is usually enough. - the best battleship is one that is rumored to be around and ready, but never in action. rumor is stronger than experience - and ... well, in roleplay terms... its better to make the corsairs think that the juggernauts are utterly uber ships, capable of destroying more than 2 osiris at once - than actually flying out and fight them.
fear is the best weapon of a juggernaut. cause in reality, they are rather only big.......
@mule:
but thats the point of being a zoner. - you don t fight. - you don t choose the zoners if you want to fight. - you choose the zoners if you like alternative ways to still force others to do your bidding
