How Freeports are ment to be

[Tenshu]

No.

(Perhaps that one word response is insufficient. However it comes across as a "please nerf Zoners" more than a genuine RP concern, and as such, any explanation about how the Zoners benefited by trading technology and the infocard rumours about the abundant resources in the border worlds would, in my opinion, fall on deaf ears.)

Also when you think about it, a faction which has ties in trading with both the pirate and house corporations would stand to make a lot of credits and accumalate assets, since being pirated is less of a risk and house corps regard zoners with indifference.

Plus its nice to have a generic neutral port to go to if you are stuck in the borderworlds being swarmed with pirates and nomads, and in order for that port to stay neutral there needs to be a power to enforce it. In my opinion its a mix of practicality and RP. ......RP Practicality:D
