(]c[) Zoners Trading Consortium V3.0

Then make them neutral AFTER you get permission, it's in my view, stupid and impossible to do so before. It's a lot easier, and a lot less open for abuse. This 'true zoner guard' being neutral to all including guards is a bit silly, yes you can be neutral to everyone, but if you enter their high security areas, where their guards are, expect to be chucked out.

Take for example, the army are pretty neutral to me, they don't even know who I am... but if I were to break/climb/wander into one of their high security bases I'm pretty likely to be shot/arrested. The army are still neutral to me, but they'll shoot me if i go where i shouldn't.

Thanks for the input!

As I have stated before numerous times: no one is planning to enter any Guard system without permission. As for Rep-fixing AFTER you get permission, that might screw things in your Rep chart. For example:

You have permission to enter Corsair Guard turf. You go and get a Corsair bribe only to realize that your Corsair rep is GREEN (let's say the rep got green indirectly). So you can do a few things: kill Corsairs / their allies or bribe their enemies enough times. Chosing either path will more than likely screw over a lot of rep-fixing you had already done for other factions. If you're RPing a faction that has a large list of enemies, it's not a big deal. But when you're a Zoner and you have to make sure that at least 50 factions are ALL neutral to you, rep-fixing AFTER (as you suggest) could get very messy.
