' Wrote:hmm i really dont get all the zoners screaming for more firepower and fighting enemys, in over a year playing on three zoner characters i only was involved into fights two times. once i had to shoot down a nomad trial character in his lf who kept buzzing around the freeport killing zoner npcs and another i got instashot upon by a keeper cruiser undocking from the freeport where i needed to redock my talon very fast. other than that never needed any firepower to solve a situation regardless if im in the juggy or the talon or even the whale. most people listen to you if you just try hard enough to convince them to obey the nfz.
so my preference in case of the conference would also go into the direction of more cargo space instead of more turrets and power. in just makes more sense in rp too that the zoners would built a heavily armored and agile supply ship with loads of space instead of going for heavy firepower.
I completely agree here. More cargo and less agility seems like more of a Zoner thing, due to their inclination toward trading. I haven't taken a look at the Zoner gunboat yet, as I haven't seen one at the bases I've been to, but the CD spamming makes me wonder if the GB even has a CM on it? If not, then it really is pretty useless. I'll have to get a peek at one soon, I'm in an area where I should find it soon enough.
And hold on... a KEEPER CRUISER was undocking from a FREEPORT?? AND fired upon a Zoner after being docked there??? WHAT!?! I hope you took screen shots and turned this guy in for OORP in a major way. Keepers aren't supposed to be docked at Human bases, Zoner or otherwise. To fire upon a zoner right after being docked at one is the height of OORP and hypocrisy!
