Zoner Defense Force

[DAnvilFan]

The key to a successful Zoner force is to play it small. Humble beginings.
I have seen quite a lot of Zoner military factions in the past try and fail because they wanted to be supercool, ultra badass, and everything that Zoners are not.
If you focus all of your attention on Freeport security, appreciate fighters above capital ships, and stick to defense before offense, you will make it farther than most.

One bit of criticism I have is with the naming convention for ships -- they are extremely convoluted for a video game. Keep it as simple as possible.

Note: Fighter craft designate their craft type in the name via the first 'x.' B = Bomber, V = VHF, H = HF, R = LF

Really, you don't need that. Particularly because it will make it easier for your enemies to determine your ship class during dogfights.

Gunboats & above - ZDFS-Shipname (Example: ZDFS-Arc.Hammer)

The extra "S" isn't neccessary.

Fighters/bombers - ZDF-Surname-x-###xx (Example: ZDF-Kaine-V-101st)

The "101st" at the end isn't needed either. Yes I understand it's cool but you want your call sign to be easy to read and when you have so much "stuff" in there, it's a little annoying. I remember that the Consortium got a lot of heat when we were inventing our naming structure (this was before I joined). I'm rather glad we use what we have today, because the "(]c[)" symbol is already difficult enough for some people to read/type.
