Zoner/Zoner Guard IDs

[Cyberanson]

After I thought some hours about this topic, I think I want to revoke my former opinion. Please do not implement this. The Zoner/Zoner Guards may use their transports as they wish and where they wish. There is no need to restrict the roleplay with more and more rules.

I am suggesting some relaxation of rules instead: I see this whole discussion very biased, because I mainly play in Rheinland as lawful and unlawful, so I think I can judge the situation there. Give the official factions more rights to stop and blast those guys who are abusing or using their ID wrong!

It is clear that the Zoners are a group of people who decided to live in the remote systems and border worlds for various reasons. I believe there is some codex within the rows of the Zoner 'leadership', like Doug for example, that the Zoner ID needn't be used for smuggling purposes but is free to use for legal/scientifical trading. The Smuggler ID serves the 'unlawful' trading rather well.
So what I suggest: if a Zoner-ID-ed vessel is found smuggling or breaking other house laws... meh... solve this situation via RP, like I tried it with the message to the Council of Zoners. Let the story evolve, give Zoners house restrictions for some time, do whatever you like as long as it stays in RP. I know some of the Rheinland faction leaders and I have great respect for them, because they know what they are doing and they know how to handle tricky situations. Just let them solve the problems on their way without any rule restrictions.

Example: An announcement of the Hessian leadership to primarily attack Zoners and steal their cargo will prevent them from abusing the Omega way into Rheinland... just be creative.

Now that should cover my opinion for now.
