Corsair - Zoner

[DAnvilFan]

The gist of the matter being: assuming the Zoners were reunited again, how would it fix the current issue? The Corsairs are basically demanding that the Zoners FR5 factions hostile to them.

That's not an issue!
That's a roleplay set up.

If Discovery had an RP manual you could buy at WalMart, you'd open it up to the "Zoners" section and you would see the following:

"The entire galaxy hates Zoners because they let enemies hang out at Freeport bars. Corsairs hate Zoners because they let Bounty Hunters base out of Freeport 9 and want that station destroyed. Meanwhile, Liberty has signed a new law in which 'any Zoners who sell goods or services to any criminal group have broken Liberty law and therefore are criminals themselves.' Everybody wants Zoners dead. Good luck."

That's why you play the Zoners - because of that very challange. Why is everybody and their mother claiming this as a game development design issue?

Unbalaned ships is an issue. Too many systems is an issue. Zoners being hated by everyone is not an issue. That's their roleplay!

Hot damn.

Many Corsairs believe that it is no longer necessary to tolerate the Zoner presence in Omicron Gamma's sister system. There is concern that they allow Bounty Hunters to come too close to the home world. It has also been argued that the biodomes in Freeport 9 could be salvaged after the Zoner expulsion and used to grow food solely for Corsairs. Right now the Zoners enjoy relative safety in Omicron Theta, but that could soon change.

Liberty has long accused Zoners of what it called "aiding and abetting felonious criminal elements." In the new law signed yesterday by the President, any Zoners who sell goods or services to any criminal group have broken Liberty law and therefore are criminals themselves. Though Liberty said it would not pursue anyone in the Border Worlds for this new crime, criminals will be arrested if they enter Liberty space. A Zoner spokesman replied, "It's that type of foolishness that drove us away from that police state called Liberty."
