How a player faction excludes a characteristic of the NPC faction

[Dusty Lens]

then why from beggining of disco are zoners acting as separates group without leadership?

when they are not fragmented but united, who is leader? noone? when noone is leader then around who they are united?
many times, when there was problem with one freeport or base or something, other zoners answered: we are not his parents, we are not responzible for his actions...
and be resnponzible for others is one part of unity..... what make my friend is affecting me... or?...

I think you're confusing vanilla zoners, disco zoners and corsair zoners.

Vanilla Zoners: Small communities living in deep space, making a living by trading goods and services while serving as waypoints in extremely deep space. Stick apart is the motto. They're seperate but -do- support one another (Don't make me dig up quotes. I can, they're all posted in one nice thread, but it's a bother) as they realize that cooperation = survival.

Disco Zoners: Hold a rather amazing planet. Population is some hundreds of millions. Maintains a large defensive fleet. Corporate strongarm of the Omicrons and Omegas. Taus presence remains relatively similar to Vanilla. Posture of mutual cooperation with the Corsairs due to Hessian/Molly threat in regards to 49. Currently at war with the Corsairs.

Corsair Zoners: Vanilla Zoners but offer no services, do not stick together and generally hate one another, preferring to tend their own garden while their neighbor burns. Though in this case the only freeport which hasn't been attacked by Corsairs in the Omicrons/Omegas is FP5.

But, in short, yes. Zoners support one another and cooperate. They're not so fragmented, even in Vanilla. Disco Zoners have been amplified past their original power as much as the Outcasts and Corsairs.

I think somebody already did that...

You'll want to open a shop and call it Porky's - or maybe throw partys with the Donners...

But yeah, you're right, it's a heritage thing and not actually something that's really practiced. We used to use that as an insult - and they used to view it as a badge of honor. Be sort of like someone from 19th century England calling an American a rebel - they'd mean it to be insulting, we're honored by that.

I wonder how you say "Long Pork" in Latin.

But yes, I'm aware, but some people seem to be of the actual impression that they're still cannibalistic as a rule. The kind of people who can't distinguish between a jibe and fact:D

Edit: Roughly "porro sus"
