zoners are untouchable?

[Primus Avatar]

Ive halted a zoner transport which was RPing very good. He had food, crew, water, engine components and was transporting military stuff. I told him I needed a few seconds to examine his ship.


Problem was....he kept RPing how i cant attack him, and that he doesn't care if i hunt those "synth food bastards".

i was like...wth? Then i realized that he was desperate to RP his way out of tax. Poor guy. So i told him my crew was starving and asked him to drop some cookies.

He kept on blabing how its an outrage, how his crew also needs food. I told him to pick something, like bananas and drop it, told him that he is a fool to argue with me.

But noooooooooooo! He is a ZONER

DA ZONAR!!

He cant be taxed, not by me. So i shot him down to 0% shield and 1% hull to state how seriously hungry my crew is.

But noooooooooooo! Zoners don't have cookies or bananas so the man offers me ORANGES!!!!!
+ i even had to pay 80k for his repairs. (i felt sorry for him)

he dropped the shipments and went on his marry way.



so my question is, not whether my pirate can blow that suicidal zoner to smithereens but goes:

WHY DO PEOPLE THINK NEUTRAL ID EXISTS???
WHY DO PEOPLE CONFUSE IT WITH ZONER ID????


ok...those were rhetorical questions. My real question is: is there a cure?
