Zoner whales.

They'll move to the correct factions. 5k powertraders should be big corporations such as, say, Universal Shipping. They shouldn't be Freelancers and they shouldn't be Zoners (which are effectively the same thing). Zoners doing this robbed lots of pirate factions, such as LWB and the Gaians of their primary corporate targets such as Synth Foods and Planetform.

The Omegas and Omicrons were never meant to be as busy as New York. They're meant to be wild, with small stations, the ass end of nowhere, and hella dangerous, not full of trains.

Zoners didn't used to carry goods from Zoner stations to house bases, at least not in vanilla. They rented passers-by rooms as a sort of motel truck stop, and sold food to Corsairs and supplies to Outcasts. You didn't get Zoners in the houses. At all. Zoners left the Houses for an admittedly difficult life out in the zone, without House rules bothering them. If they hated the increasingly authoritarian houses rules so much that they left, why would they repeatedly go back?

BURN!

Seriously though, blunty is dead on. Thank you bluntpencil.

Also I can already see the flood of "Zoner Whale For Sale!!" in the ship sales section. And somehow I don't see there being any interested parties. Tell you what, I'll gladly offer 10 million for one. I'm sure I can find some RP for it. Yes I know, the poor ship has never been RP'd in and it will be difficult for it to adjust.. But don't worry, I'll be gentle, ease her in nicely.
