How a player faction excludes a characteristic of the NPC faction

[Howard10]

hm. i must say that i dont know... but. are we saying that it will die without them?...
thats the big difference for me.
people are saying that corsairs must be depended on zoners, because zoners deliver them food.

but noone is saying to zoners that they must deliver the food to corsairs...

see my point?

Originally, the Zoners didn't do house calls. It was more a Driv Thru Take-Away. You didn't see Zoner NPCs jumping to Gamma and taking the food to Crete, it was Corsair Titan 'freighter' patrols who did the shopping and brought the groceries home, so to speak.

The onus to collect your food that you want is on you, really. Of course, I know ingame doing that sort of run is boring, which is why Corsairs prefer to sit outside Crete or do missions.

EDIT: Bluespawn got there first, heh.
