How a player faction excludes a characteristic of the NPC faction

[DAnvilFan]

and it is really nice that zoners roleplayed the destroyed biodomes but
a: noone asked for that it was will of zoners...
b: in thread right above this is zoner roleplaying how invincible are shields of freeport.... miracle that before they colapsed after much smaller damage was taken and now can theysurvive hits by 20 mortars from 10 battleships at once?....
(and i am still not happy that you posted the screens and you know why...:))
you know how this will end when we all start in line.
we maked this, waht you maked in exchange...

Zoners roleplayed the crippling of a base. The players. Not the development team. The players.

You can tell me a thousand things but you cannot tell me how Corsairs have crippled themselves in an equal manner.

Which Corsair base has been half destroyed in RP as a result of attacks by Outcasts, RHA, Bretonians, SCRA, and Bounty Hunters as a result of something that players decided?

Mmm?

I remember the day it happened and the decision was made. We agreed that it would be an interesting turn of events in the storyline even if it meant "self-nerf." You may not consider the RP-imaginary concept of a Freeport losing it's biodomes since nothing really changes game mechanic wise.

But so what. Food production was the essense of those Freeports lore wise. Not just for Crete. I am talking for Zoners. How many players can say they have done something similar in order to create a dynamic story?

Weaknesses? Nobody had weakened their NPC faction more than TAZ, OSI, and ZTC. Many Zoners were even in the process of getting Gran Canaria ret-conned and nerfed so that Zoners wouldn't be that strong. The official factions even pushed toward restricting Zoner battleships. And no, not to keep them all to themselves. OSI had 1 gunboat. ZTC had 1 Carrier (a Zephyr, so it wasn't even Zoner).

Don't talk to me about Zoner weaknesses.
