Corsair - Zoner

[spikefin]

I know, right? Truth being, Bretonia should have claimed GC a long time ago, or at least given all the zoner squatters the boot = or how about the Molly's - O49 should be a battle ground between Molly's and Corsairs.

The Corsairs should be fighting everyone everywhere for GC, since it can single-handedly usher in a new golden age for the Corsairs. My thought it, the Corsairs don't have any other planets because they dont want any other planets - Crete has forged corsair society for centuries - what happens should the corsairs shift to GC? once everyone has all they need, they'll get soft.

Keep in mind, the Outcasts don't have any other planets either, although thats really because they can't survive without good ol'e vitamin orange.
Nobody liked it when we were united, and now no one likes it when were not - jesus christ Disco, make up your effing minds.

And even if we do unite, doesn't mean we'll automatically bend over for the corsairs or anyone else. Zoner unity doesn't mean you get what you want. It just means we speak with a louder voice.
Oh hell, now your just being alarmist.
Here's the tip man, and listen up. Zoner's don't have friends. We have some factions we like, and that they like us - but we dont push until were pushed. Whether your a dumb ass pirate knocking over a whale full of refugee's, or a horde of bully's wanting to impose laws - we'll wait for you to make the first move. Why? because were a group of people that want to be left alone - and if thats true, why would we go stirring trouble first?

Every zoner you meet will say hi, kalliste, or greetings, or at the very least, nothing at all.
Zone of Influence is paltry, and only really effects a couple systems. But were free to wander everywhere but Gallia, and Corsair turf.
Caps cant go into house space, and regardless, by ID, we can only act in self defense.

As well, I can guarantee you, that for as many lol'zoner caps there are, there at least three times more in the corsairs - or outcasts. Or LN.

See people like you make me wonder if im playing zoner very wrong, Although your being defensive in your post, You make good sence about zoners potential to fight. I had this weird idea, After reading cannon lore.

"But Zoners had neither enough time, nor a real need to concentrate on developing military power, although they have always been able to develop technology to be among the best Sirius has ever seen. Their love for freedom and individual occupations as well as the wide spread areas they were living in never allowed the foundation of a common military organization. "

So, Now its getting official Corsairs are forcing us into a smaller space, and inRP TAZ and other factions have offered the refugee zoners home, and since the Corsair "TBH" Bought hostilities against us, and pushed our hand to leave our freeports (Apart from gaurdians) Dosn't this give us an opertunity in RP to

A) Have enougth time, We just got booted outta home, What else shall we do?
B) A real need, Weve been forced out, and we want our home back.
C) The technology the best sirus has ever seen.

Widespread area? two place's of rest and supplies in a chunck of sirus have been taken from us forcibly, Our area shrunk.

And lets face it, We have been attacked, They forced us back, This = Hostility, we have the theoretical right to defend, The fact we back off and let it appear inconsequential while we work on a superior retaliation, With far superior technology......

Id say its a revenge thing, But... well it would be from Brian Harris Pilot of .:Z:.Anihilator.

Problem is, Zoner caps are places they shouldn't be more often than not with the extremely generous ZOI, and when you kindly inform lolcappilots that they should turn around and leave, you can expect a sea of flames in return about how they are on an important scientific mission and how ppl cannot roleplay etc. etc. - I personally had that happen to me on several occations when I had an OC dread patrolling alpha and intercepted zoner caps full of nomad remains and lolpilots on "scientific missions" not really spending time reading up on why they shouldnt be hauling nomads in OC territory and flaming me like mad for shooting them up after giving them every chance to drop their cargo and turn around. I see Zoner caps in Liberty quite often as well. They are all over the place, when they really ought to stay in the omegas/sigmas/omicrons IMO. And with no accountability whatsoever, nothing can ever be done about this nuissance.

I think it would be really cool if Zoners maintained their neutrality through diplomacy/people skills/dialogue instead of capships.

I dont see the big problem in setting minimum standards and provide some form of accountability and uniformity - like every other faction on this server do - while still providing a high level of freedom.

Also why do you need warships to roleplay your part?
Edit: True OC and Corsair has lots of lollers, difference is OC is placed so far out of the way that lolcappilots cant really do any damage, and the Corsairs have worked really hard on disciplining their pilots. Because they choose to take responsibility and are accountable...

Ok, excluding the fact they shouldn't be there, What harm were these caps doing? Ohh, they had nomad remains... Im sure those nomad remains were properly isolated no? Factions all over use "proper isolation" in RP when talking about nomads.

So nomad remains in your region of space is intolerable, its a nono, and you accept no RP that may allow it.
Thats absolutely fine, Its your POV, and your entitled to it BUT...

If they flew a transport full of nomad remains wouldn't it upset you just as much? Isn't the fact its a cap ship only a small part.

Also why do you need warships to roleplay your part?

Already said this, So theres less random "pewpew's" that shoot me up. I haven't (pre the blowup) Had any RP players have issue with my ship for what it is, Most have allowed me to continue even with contested cargo (Usually a few peices) Weather i was were i shouldn't be (Because i didn't read specific rules) Or I had a bounty hunter pilot in my hold (He was left in space after Corsairs destroyed some ships, I was returning him home)

The nomad remains sometimes in my hold... Go sit outside some FP's, just sit there for 2 hours, then press "B" and wholla, the hold is full of namad remains. Now those nomad remains need to be disposed of, And the FP dosnt accept nomad remains, So a trip is required, That trip crosses a large amount of space, If it was not RP, I wouldn't have only a few dozen, And i wouldn't use a fearless with its minute hold, Id buy me a half the price transporter.

Roleplay is exactly that, we play a role, The laws about caps in house, Don't i understand that as a security measure? I heard courts has metal detectors for security, no knives or guns allowed, yet, Knives and guns are allowed in daily for all types of reasons, This is called an exemption.
