Zoner RP Solutions

[reisiger_duke]

Please please please please please. Make the Zoner Juggernaut an admin-given ship (but maybe boost it above normal BS stats in exchange). In RP, it is *rumored* that they have 1 or 2 big warships with heavy firepower to scare off border/edge world pirate factions from raiding Freeports. Ingame, Zoner Juggernauts are one of the most common ships ever >_< .

I can't disagree on that one... the Juggernaut is IRP meant as a mobile Freeport and shouldn't be used offensively - if at all only when trying to reach a Freeport under siege in order to evacuate it -, while the Aquillon is the Battleship used for combat.

So... how about giving the Juggernaut the same deal as with the Barge? Maybe even increase it's armour to the point of being truly able to take a beating... but it'd would be given only via a special RP request.

I would even go so far saying that any and all Battleships should be restricted to official factions, and each of those gets an admin set maximum of each BS class - if the faction has more than one - they could muster.

Battleships should be the pinnacle of combat power... few and far between... but deadly.

Also, Zoner Guard traders. It makes absolutely no sense that there are so many of them and that the Zoners are the economically most powerful faction in all of Sirius. How about restricting their ability to trade to the Border/Edge Worlds and the few systems Freeports are in? The Zoners are a small, ragtag bunch of refugees and other people not living in the Houses - should they somehow be able to afford something larger than a little freighter or civilian shuttle, they should be using it to keep their Freeports and maybe some nearby non-lawful House ('sairs and 'casts are Houses too, but no lawful ones) faction bases supplied.

You - and a lot of others - seem to be oblivious to the discussion about changes to the Zoner Guard ID and continue beating this issue over and over. http://discoverygc.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=41409

Cannot dock any stations/planets/bases in lawful House space except;
Independent Miners Guild (IMG) Bases
Gas Miners Guild (GMG) Bases
Council Bases
Zoner Bases
Planet Erie
Or if transporting Refugees

If implemented, the only ship you'll see Zoners flying to trade inside house systems will be the BWT with 3'600 cargo-space. Zoner Whales will still fly through house space, but only to reach the allowed destinations.

And for your information... the CoZ discussed this unofficially and agreed on this being the best way to restrict trading in 5k transports in lawful house space to house trading factions.

If these things would be changed, maybe people would finally view Zoners as what they should be in-RP instead of what they are now ingame.

Now you're taking an awfully large brush to paint a picture, and that is what ticks off all the IRP Zoners actually trying to enrich the servers gameplay.


On a side-note... I've met many a player in different factions who admitted to have a Zoner Powertrader Char just to finance their other characters... maybe that is the real issue here, as the moment the Zoner Guard ID changes are implemented, you'll have them switch to i.e. IMG ID's or any other allowing 5k transports to go everywhere, regardless of the ZoI meant for their ID.
