Armed Traders Association

[Tenacity]

Aye, I said that. Although the history needs some work, the idea is that we did originate from the Zoners, and it's not so much for their cap ships, but also their fighters. TBH, Zoners make the best and most awesome looking ships, although how they look is often not the basis for which to use.

The zoners use Eagles and other civilian-line ships, so that's what you should be using as a zoner trading faction. Yes, Eagles are pretty popular around here, but it's because they're very good fighters and fairly good looking, not to mention available to almost everyone.

I still think the zoner ID isnt right for the group, but if you insist on using it your vessels should be limited to the following:
-CT Civilian Fighter Line (starflier, startracker, starblazer, hawk, falcon, griffin, eagle, civilian bomber, and others)
-Armored Transport (Hybrid trade/combat vessel)
-Zoner Gunboat (To be added in 4.85, would be ideal for you guys since it's a trader-oriented gunboat)
-Generic Transports & Trains (Transport, Large Transport, Train, Improved Train, Advanced Train)
-Zoner Transport (To be added in 4.85, should be your primary transport after the version is released)

The civilian bomber is getting an improved version added in 4.85 as well, so it'll give you some slightly better (and better looking) bomber power. Past that, a zoner-affiliated trading faction shouldnt be using cruisers, battlecruisers, battleships, or any non-zoner equipment, especially bounty hunter stuff. We've got too many bounty hunters around as it is.
