Well hostile RP is mutual. The Zoners are the one treating our vessels as hostile (i.e when they attacked our civilian transports) and Core shoots them back for that. Or when they shoot Core ships approaching the Freeport.
I mean honestly Doria, if the Zoners/Order aren't happy with this roleplay then speak up. Admist all the negative ooRP connotations, we can still try and work things out to ensure the outcome is fun for both sides. The best way to deal with things is to ensure there's talking going on from both sides (i.e when Core| actually planned to go hostile to Zoners themselves we were going to approach the Zoner official factions beforehand to ensure we could smooth everything out).
