Pirating Zoners and RP Base Obligations

[SigCorps]

Now...if the pirate is being, reasonable. Asking for say a donation that is not to extreme..then I would see no reason why they could not use a Freeport later. But if they open up negotiations with a stream of plasma bolts...well then, they should expect not to be invited to Freeports after that.

Now pirating in view of a freeport..well that's just really bad form. Also that station better be shooting at you since that is basically akin to an attack.

As for the power traders. I think they are a smaller part of the Zoner population then most think. They just seems to be the most visible. There are changes coming to alleviate some of the Zoner Guard ID abuse.

Neither ID is a shield against piracy. There are some policies coming out very soon that will set most of this straight. I hope.

Zoners are a diverse group of individuals who, for various reasons, have decided to live in the wild and unregulated systems outside colonial control.

Now one thing about this quote that some folks seem to get stuck on. Just be cause we are diverse does not mean we are unorganized or live in chaos. Choosing to live outside house rules and laws does not mean we can not come to a consensus and make our own. All houses are a group of individuals, they are all diverse. It's just where they live that dictates the laws of the land. It's not like everyone in Liberty follows house laws.

Zoner just wanted the right to govern themselves..for some that is not listening to anyone...for others it is coming together to make their own policies. Zoners in reality could not survive if they did not band together.

Except that the very good odds are, that the Zoner I pirate in Omega 5 does not talk to the one operating the docking controls in Tau-37. The Zoners are a diverse group of individuals, not another Sirius Corporation, not some kind of quasi-house.

A very good point, and correct
