Pirates Docking on Our Bases

[Daedric]

Contrary to your statement, Zones are one of the best factions for haulers.

Contrary to your statement, the majority of pirating factions are not neutral or friendly to Zoners as a whole. None of your examples are neutral or friendly. They typically pirate Zoners unless given good reason not to do so.

As for pirating us and then docking to Zoner bases or blowing you up and docking to Zoner bases? Report them for breaking rule 6.9 with supporting evidence.

The Zoner ID is not a free pass out of piracy. Nor should it be. That is exactly what you are suggesting it should be.

While Zoners might be neutral to everyone, that doesn't mean everyone is neutral to Zoners. Thus, just because Zoners are neutral to them doesn't mean they can't kill Zoners. As for your example of a Zoner Fearless being attacked by Hackers? Who says they shouldn't have attacked him? You? That is up to them. The Hackers are not Zoner allies, thus if they have a reason to attack they can.

Yes, some houses treat Zoners like criminals. This is because of past role play on the server. Not being allowed to dock large transports in house space has nothing to do with the houses themselves. That was an admin/dev decision made to balance the Zoner ID.

Zoners are the only faction that can jump trade powertrade at will without any sort of RP put into it. If anything they need more restrictions, not less.

Ah you mean like the IC| did and planned to do (does if you members aren't lying to me). You know, using the Zoner carrier to jump your IC| ships around and adpating to it because that is how it is? Your own words.

As for more restrictions? Mere bias opinion. Need we look at the freedoms on your dear IC's ID?

Who's 'we'?
If you have a problem with being pirated take it up with one of the Zoner factions and ask for more stringent rules regarding docking on Freeports.

Take his advice. The official Zoner factions (OSI and TAZ) along with the unofficial factions (CoF, SEF, OZ, Phoenix, etc), and the indy freeport admins have more weight when dealing with other factions than a regular Zoner Indy. We will try to help you if it makes sense to do so. Role playing is better than whining on the forums about it (we're all hypocrites!)

Um......try jumptrading within house space without RP.

Word. Not to mention jump trading outside of house space is role playing....jump traders! Guess soom people just think role play is forum based text messages!

Kudos Spaz. (not sarcastic, honest)

Try making an in-rp request to Freeport administrators to get said pirates' docking rights removed and see what happens. Take plenty of screenshots.



I know for a fact that some pirates deliberately choose not to target official faction Zoners because it can have repercussions, while indie Zoners are free game.

Yep. However, we aren't going to process a FR5 for a few acts of piracy (nor will the admins approve it if we did). Getting a FR5 based on mere piracy to pass means clearly showing that the aggressor has it out for Zoners. A few acts of piracy doesn't show that.
