Zoner/Zoner Guard IDs

[Dab]

interspace id, strict you to lawfull bases, so for example no supporting corsairs with food for me.:(
and smuggler id was fine, but when you have pirate train, you can not dock on lawfull base. so again forcing to smaller ship.

as i say, i dont think this whole thing is bad idea, but again
something as favoriting house pilots, because after this, noone except members of house factions can not use 5k cargo ships... and that is not
good in my eyes, when thing as trading is maked on favoritism someone...

(and i type for myself, i really like extra long routes, (from a-to b on my route it is +/- 20 minutes, )

You can use a Zoner Guard transport to take Food to Crete, since it isn't in the houses.. So this won't affect that at all.

Also, Junker ID Pirate Trains CAN dock on lawful bases.. Switch from Generic to faction. Generic IDs are meant to have drawbacks because they offer so much freedom. The Zoner Guard ID basically is a Generic ID in terms of freedom, but a faction ID in terms of ships it can use.. It has the best of both, and it shouldn't.

Also, this is supposed to encourage you to switch to house factions to trade.. That is one of the problems. Since so many people are using the Zoner Guard ID to trade (including those faction's trade routes), there are few people in those factions. That is making them 'dead' factions. What is so problematic about using a house corp ID if you are running that house corp's trade run? If you're running a Zoner trade run, this won't harm you at all, and thus you have nothing to complain about..

BHG bases should be added to this list. The bhg docks on freeports all the time, why should it be one way?

There is nothing of interest on BHG bases for the Zoners.. They are usually outposts for the BHG's combat pilots, not trading hubs. Loads of people dock on Freeports, doesn't mean Zoners should dock theirs. Zoners supply the BHG's borderworld stations, but this ID doesn't prohibit docking of any bases outside the houses, so it won't stop you from doing that.

While I am all up for it , there is a nibbling lil voice in the back of my head thats saying "No! That way all the powetraders will migrate to the Junkers , getting caught all the time , undermining the very essence of beeing a Junker"

Now you know exactly how we feel..
