How should Zoners "behave"?

[bluntpencil2001]

I'm sorry to say, but I don't think NPC factions should start getting handed out because they cannot RP with the intended mechanics and atmosphere of the Discovery Universe.

I guarantee all such a course of action will do is promote this kind of behavior:
"You don't like my factions RP? Then make the admins create one for me!"

Not to mention, it looks like an abuse of power. They already have their ID, just remove/change any information that links them to the Zoners and move them somewhere else.

My thoughts exactly.

I understand that it is hard for the AW to RP a faction that doesn't have their own tag, but the problem lies in their linking themselves to the Zoners so tightly.

They don't act like Zoners, which is fair enough, but they act like the Zoners' own House Police... which isn't.

If they claim to be mercenaries, a Zoner tag can still work, but they should keep their warfare a strictly commercial business, or use it to defend their own pilots, the Order or the GMG, within reason.

EDIT: Actually, Pipsqueak makes a good point. Maybe Bounty Hunter tags would work for such a mercenary faction?
