|ZDF| - Zoner Defense Fleet

[Doc Holliday]

Now here's a suggestion and I've done this many times in my many, MANY years in this server. Create a summit, inviting all the major players of Zoner factions and Freeport Administrators. Zoner POBs should also be included. It gives you a chance to introduce yourself, state your mission and to iron out any differences you will have with those people. Some will go along with you, some will not. You will at least get some respect from them and at worse, those that don't support you will at least avoid your stance.

If the zoner neutrality isn't respected, then it's better to delete the faction, because it would lose all the meaning...

This. What people often think is that a Zoner ID makes you immune to piracy or that you can go anywhere you wish. This is an illusion. MOST pirates will leave you be but not all and there will be some who don't like you for whatever reason. Being a Zoner is about RP first, pew pew later.

NFZs are a roleplay thing, not a rule.

This is mostly true. NFZ's are Zoner law, NOT server rule. If someone is loitering in an NFZ, game rules apply to engagement however to make them leave, server rules of RP apply. Players love testing the waters of NFZ's to see if you will engage them using excuses such as "I'm waiting for someone" or "I'm plotting a course." As a FP admin, I give you about 30 secs to plot your course and if you must wait, go 5k out or whatever the zone is for that FP.

Remember, being a Zoner is more about RP than anything. You are a person who dislikes house rule. You are a person who doesn't care what side of the law one walks, what there politics are or where they come from. You must learn to either give something to all to achieve your peace or give nothing and justify the action. Just keep this in mind.
